Mens Health TNT Diet Review
What You Should Know
The Mens Health TNT Diet is based on the best selling book the TNT Diet. The Mens Health magazine wanted to provide a diet and exercise program aimed just at men who needed to shed weight and increase the muscle mass on the body. The one mission of the diet is to keep fat from storing on the body.
There is an official website for the Mens Health TNT Diet. The website, or section of the main Mens Health website, is dated 2007. It seems the program has not been updated since that time. While there is no cost for the information on the Mens Health website, the book currently sells on Amazon for $17.13.

Product Features
The Mens Health TNT Diet is explained 100% online. Without the help of the book, however, the dieter may find it hard to understand the topics completely with the brief description noted online. TNT stands for Targeted Nutritional Tactics. The Mens Health TNT diet consists of these tactics paired with an exercise program to build muscle. The program lasts a total of 12 weeks and is flexible enough to work for the person who needs to lose a lot of weight and the person who wants to build a lot of muscle.
The long winded ìscientificî explanation of the Mens Health TNT Diet is very simple to paraphrase. The diet supports good carbs, eliminates bad carbs and focuses on the effects of quick acting (or simple) carbohydrates on the body. This plan seems to be very similar to the South Beach Diet. Just because foods are thrown into ìTime Zonesî instead of allowed and not allowed lists, does not make the diet any different at the core.
Along with the dietary change, the Mens Health TNT diet pushes an exercise program into the mix. The exercise program is free on the Mens Health website, but this workout is not for everyone. The workout is all weight training based and is supposed to be completed every other day, at least three days a week. There are terms used in the exercise plan like Ipsilateral Back Lunge that most dieters will have no idea how to do. This exercise program is not for everyone.
Advantages
- The book is available on Amazon.
- The complete program can be found online free.
- The Mens Health TNT diet combines lower carbs with exercise.
Disadvantages
- The exercise program is not aimed at the beginner.
- Not many dieters will understand the terminology used for the weight training exercises.
- The diet plan is not much different from the South Beach diet or other healthy carbohydrate diets.
Conclusion
We love the fact that the Mens Health TNT diet is free online. Lower carbohydrate diets have been proven to increase weight loss which is another plus. The exercise plan, however, is something written in Latin. This plan was established in 2007 when low carb was hot. Today, dieters are focusing more on eating their every day foods and making lifestyle and portion changes to lose weight. The Mens Health TNT diet may be a bit behind the times.
