I'm nowhere near on a "man diet" of meat and beer as I find both immoral (a former boss asked if that was due to religious reasons and I said I was athiest... he said that must be one terrible religion and would never join!).
However, I would think that the same principles apply. I've been losing 3 pounds per week for 7 weeks now just by watching my portion sizes. I have made a few sacrifices... for example instead of fries with my veggieburger, I'll have a side of steamed broccoli. But I've been keeping track of the calories in and the calories out and so far so good. I'm actually going to see a dietitian tonight as I'm scared that I'm losing weight too fast... most web sites say you should never lose more than 2 per week.
What I've learned is that I can still eat pizza, still eat chocolate, still eat my homemade egg mcmuffins smothered in cheese SO LONG AS I BALANCE IT OUT THE REST OF THE WEEK AND EXERCISE REGULARLY.
