We did a mini survey on male to check if they would go on diet or unhealthy diet.

This are the question:

Q1. Are you particular about your weight?

Q2. If yes, what kind of method would you use to cut down or maintain your weight?

Q3. If no, would you use diet pills to cut down?

The Answer:

Out of 8 male,

- 7 said yes to Question1.

- 6 said no to pill and will exercise regularly to cut down their weight.

- 2 said yes to diet pill if exercise are not effective.

The difference between male and female is that, normally, female will starve themselves in order for them to loss weight. However, male would not.
