Hi Samuel
I found your contact details on LinkedIn. If you are not the right person to talk to about Men’s Weight Management services, could you please forward the email on
to the appropriate person? Many thanks.
I am making contact as I want to introduce you to MAN v FAT (www.manvfat.com) and the specialised weight management services we provide for Public Health
Teams.
MAN v FAT is a unique weight loss project that is aimed exclusively at men. We provide a range of specialist insight, outreach, social media, training and support
for Public Health Teams trying to engage and support men to improve their health and wellbeing with respect to weight loss, physical activity and healthy eating.
Our own research has revealed that men feel desperately let down by the existing routes they are presented by the diet industry, employers and health officials.
We have spoken with almost 4,000 overweight/obese men around the country and have identified key local and national insights on the factors influencing men’s
health behaviours, including identifying what might motivate or prevent them from making lifestyle changes and engaging in health improvement interventions.
We have generated many practical insights on what type of weight management support men in your target audience would prefer and have gauged reaction to
models used elsewhere. We have developed several community and peer to peer services, establishing appropriate approaches, settings, channels and
messages for different segments within your target audience.
If you would like to find out more about how MAN v FAT can help you to engage and support men lose weight, please do get in touch.
Many thanks and kind regards
Paul

Obesity in adults in North Somerset
Outline information about North Somerset, and health inequalities within the population and areas of high need.
North Somerset shares the burden, health risks and costs associated with the UK obesity epidemic. A recent estimate suggests that obesity levels in North Somerset (22.7%) are slightly lower than in the rest of England (23%). Figure 1 shows the prevalence of underweight, healthy weight, overweight and obese adults in North Somerset from 2012-13.
Mention pregnancy figures:
Children of obese parents are at high risk of becoming obese. Data for the 2014/15 academic year highlights that 21% of pregnant women in North Somerset were obese (BMI 30+) at the time of booking their pregnancy (South West Maternity and Children’s Strategic Clinical Network, 2015). This represents 450 pregnant women a year who are at risk of complications during pregnancy and birth, and whose children will be at risk of poorer health outcomes.
Physical activity
Local data is not routinely collected on rates of physical activity in Children. In 2009 Sport England collected self-assessment data from North Somerset schools, with 58.4% of pupils aged 5-18 spending at least 3 hours per week on high quality PE and school sport. This compared with an England average of 55.1%. Nearly a quarter of adults in North Somerset are physically inactive, with 25% of those aged 16+ doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week (Public Health Outcomes Framework, 2014).
The North Somerset School Census Travel Survey (January 2015) highlighted that rates of active travel to school have been steadily increasing, with just over half of school pupils walking to school (53.7%) and 2.9% of pupils cycling to school.

Association of Public Health Observatories and Department of Health. Crown Copyright 2010. Modelled estimates from the Health Survey for England (2006-2008) from North Somerset Health Profile 2010. This model estimates that 37,616 people in North Somerset are obese. This is over twice the number, 17,685, that has been recorded by General Practitioners in North Somerset. This could mean that many obese people are not receiving help and support to manage their weight.
