Congratulations – you have found the best four-week weight-loss meal plan for men on the internet! No need to thank us, especially since we didn't do the hard work putting it together. Thank award-winning dietitian Azmina Govindji, who has not only chosen delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks, she's also kept to a daily 1,800-calorie limit.

Impressive stuff, but not as impressive as doing all that while also making sure that, on average, this meal plan meets the main dietary recommendations. So that's recommended daily allowances of fat, saturates, fibre and salt, as well as recommended daily requirements of most minerals and vitamins. And of course, you'll (finally) be eating at least five portions of fruit and veg a day.

Govindji has also kept the calorie content of your breakfast, lunch and dinner in a similar ratio to Public Health England's 400-600-600 calorie guidelines, so you'll become accustomed to that pattern of eating and will find it easier to continue in the same vein after the four-week period is up.

If this all sounds too good to be true, let us reassure you that you can trust this meal plan because Govindji is a dietitian. As we've explained elsewhere, that's a protected term and means Govindji is governed by an ethical code and her work is regulated by law. Govindji has also worked for the NHS, was chief dietitian at Diabetes UK and has worked with BAME communities on behalf of Public Health England.

So will you lose weight if you follow it? We're confident you will, and thanks to the extra fibre you'll be eating, the likelihood is you won't feel ravenous for 28 long days either.

Four-Week Weight-Loss Meal Plan For Men

This meal plan allows for 100ml of semi-skimmed or 1% fat milk a day to drink or use in tea and coffee (see below), as well as a daily allowance of 2tsp (10g) of reduced-fat spread to use for bread rolls, toast, sandwiches, baked potatoes or to melt over vegetables.

Drinks-wise, you can glug down unlimited water (of course), sugar-free soft drinks, tea and coffee. If you take your hot beverage with milk, note that you should draw from your milk allowance above.

The plan also allows for up to five other drinks per week, as follows:

Milk-based coffees should be skinny latte or similar, about 100 calories.
Alternatively, alcoholic drinks providing about one unit of alcohol can be included (a maximum of five units over the week); for example a small (125ml) glass of wine, a half pint of 4% alcohol lager or cider, or a single measure of spirits with no added sugary mixer.

If you're vegetarian or vegan, fortified plant-based drinks such as soya, oat or almond milk alternative can be substituted for semi-skimmed milk. Check the label and make sure it has added calcium, iodine, vitamin D and vitamin B12.

Vegetarian or vegan alternatives to meat and cheese can also be substituted. For example, try tofu, Quorn or soya mince, and vegan alternatives to cheese (although note that cheese substitutes will not give you the nutrients found in dairy).

If you need a break from cooking occasionally, it's fine to swap in a ready meal from a healthier eating range or a healthier takeaway option. Choose "lighter" dishes if these are available, or if nutritional information is provided, aim for about 500 calories. Avoid deep-fried dishes and creamy curries. Good options include wraps filled with extra salad, standard burgers without mayo and cheese, and "lighter" pizzas with lots of vegetable toppings and less cheese.

• Feel free to swap breakfast, lunch and dinner options between days to suit. Make sure you choose a swap with a similar calorie content.
• Snack suggestions, particularly fruit and yogurt, can be incorporated into one of the meals if you prefer.

Pack sizes vary by retail outlet, but this plan and the nutritional information is based on a salmon fillet of 100g cooked weight, chicken breast of 120g cooked weight, 120g pot of yogurt, 200g cans of beans and tomatoes, and drained weights of 60g (small) or 120g (medium) for canned tuna. For ease of use, the recipe suggestions include dry weights of grains like rice and pasta.

We've included some cooking directions, but if you're unsure, search the internet for similar recipes and the general method will become clear.

Evans Dining Table

Evans Dining Table

I love working on home furniture and like giving tips to others.

Our old 6' x 3' table that seated six.

I remember we bought our 6-foot pine table when our first child was born. It seemed enormous to us! Two young people and a tiny baby, why did we buy so big?

Well, roll on another 16 years and not only are there more kids, but they are huge and their friends are huge and, quite frankly, that enormous 6-foot table became way too small!

I looked into new tables. But with three active boys, I didn't want something so fine that I'd always be fretting about glass marks, spills, and scratches. I also didn't particularly want to drop a grand or two on a piece of furniture.

But we found a solution for a beautiful new table that is so easy and inexpensive, it's just ridiculous!

Make Your Existing Table Bigger With a 4' x 8' Board

Simply overlay your existing table with a larger board that has an attractive veneer on one face—this is birch. Stain and gloss the top to match the existing legs (or stain and gloss the legs too like we did).

The entire project including stain and gloss came in under $100, plus a few hours of my time. Five years down the road, it's still serving us well. And we have not outgrown it!

Materials Needed

• 1 4' x 8' plywood board (with veneer on one side)
• 4 lengths of wood, each 1" x 1" x 2' long
• 2 short pieces of wood, 4" x 1" x 1"
• 2 2" nails
• wood edging tape (see link below)
• wood glue
• wood stain and wood gloss of your choice

The unfinished 8' x 4' plywood board.

How to Make Your Dining Room Table Bigger With a 4' x 8' Board

Here's the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Decide on the Right Size

Choose how large you want your table to be. (Keep in mind that it must work proportionally with your existing table's legs.) The boards are sold 4' x 8', but you can ask to have it cut down if you want it smaller.

Note: You must get a board that has a veneer (such as birch) on one side.

Step 2: Glue Wood to the Underside of Your Board

Now take your four 2' lengths of wood and glue them to the underside (non-veneer side) of your board in an open rectangle so that when the board is laid on top of the table, the table will fit reasonably snugly. It doesn't have to be a tight fit, a little space OK to prevent slippage. Measure carefully because you want it set on straight. (See diagram.)

Step 3: Nail the Struts

Take the two 2" nails and nail the two 4" struts to the center of each of the two long struts running along the two longer edges of the board. (See diagram at right.) This will allow you to pivot each small strut and "lock" the board onto the table so that it cannot be tipped up accidentally. You will need to look carefully at your own table and think this through, making any adjustments necessary, as every table is different.

Step 4: Measure the Board and Apply Wood Edging Tape

Place the board on the table, veneer side up, and measure the total edge of your board. Apply the wood edging tape, following the manufacturer's directions. (This is usually a process that involves ironing on the tape in order to dissolve the pre-applied adhesive.)

Step 5: Stain and Gloss the Board

Transform your board and its new wood trim with a beautiful wood stain of your choosing. Again keep in mind the look and color of the existing table's legs. Can you stain those to match? We did! When you are happy with the color, finish it with two coats of polyurethane, gloss, or semi-gloss, again your choice of finish. (You can also buy stain and gloss all-in-one to save time.)

Struts hold the board in place on the old table (viewed from below).

Thanks for the comments, everybody!

Good point, Marcy (that I probably should have made myself!) that this larger tabletop can be added and taken away as needed. Always good to have that option for larger groups.

ANd yes, Cyndi10, the ever-shrinking desk (like my ever-shrinking jeans...), I'm sure it would work well for this too.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing, janikon and summerberrie!

summerberrie on May 02, 2012:

poowool5, this is such a great hub for how to expand your table. I really enjoyed reading it and the do it yourself pictures were perfect!

janikon on May 02, 2012:

Very clever and inexpensive idea. Voted up and shared.

Cynthia B Turner from Georgia on May 02, 2012:

Clever, Clever idea. You took a lot of time with those instructions, too. Maybe something similar would work on my desk which seems to be shrinking! Good hub.

Marcy Goodfleisch from Planet Earth on May 02, 2012:

I cracked up at your "Doesn't that apron make me look fat?" comment!

Seriously - I love this hub! I've been trying to figure a way to 'expand' my petite dining table that's bigger on looks than on function. I hadn't thought of adding the underside braces to make a false top more stable. I would probably use it now and then (rather than all the time), but I sure do need it when I need it.

Voted up, useful, awesome and interesting! And shared!

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on April 28, 2012:

Whoops, sorry to be late getting back to your question, PJ. I bought the plywood from our local old-fashioned lumber store, the kind with a lumberyard out back. I am surprised Lowes didn't sell these. Perhaps try calling a few places to ask in advance so you don't have wasted trips. Hope you can locate it. What I smugly enjoy most is the comments of my friends with expensive tastes as they admire it, not realizing it didn't cost me an arm and a leg!

PJ on April 18, 2012:

Great idea! This is JUST what I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing! One question - where did you buy your plywood board? I checked my local home improvement store (Lowe's) but didn't come across any with a veneer on one side. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful idea!

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 31, 2012:

Thanks for the comment, Robie. You know, for little money, it really can give a table a new lease of life. I didn't think we would keep it for so long, but it still looks good after years of daily use, so you know, if it ain't broke...

Today we dyed Easter eggs right on the table, no protective newspaper etc...guess not much gets through a couple coats of polyurethane, because it didn't affect the table at all. And that's what I need with three boys...ROBUST furniture ;)

Thanks for the comment!

Robie Benve from Ohio on March 31, 2012:

Great idea! I have an old table that on top of being small, has some water damage, we keep it in the (non-used) dining room for the kid's homework, and this plywood board treatment may be just what it needs. Thanks for sharing, and I love the pictures, very helpful! Ciao

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 12, 2012:

Thanks Steph and Jennifer. I thought either it would wear down or I'd tire of it by now, but not so (pic above is current, ie. 5 years after making it)!

jenniferg78 from Philadelphia, PA on March 12, 2012:

This is a great idea and the picture illustration are really helpful. +useful

Stephanie Marshall from Bend, Oregon on March 11, 2012:

Great idea and totally rated up! I have 4 kids and it seems like the table is never big enough. Then, if any of my friends come over with their kids... ugh! Nice tips and easy to do. Rated up - Steph

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 11, 2012:

Thanks Lizam1. The board is only 3/4" thick, so, yes, the table would be higher, but only by 3/4". Not really noticeable.

Lizam1 on March 10, 2012:

Nice idea - one question does laying the board on top make the table an odd height?

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 10, 2012:

Thanks for commenting, Liz! Sometimes it's the simple things that have the biggest impact!

lizlauder from Western New York on March 10, 2012:

This is such a great idea! And it looks beautiful.

Thanks cloverleaffarm, anything to save a few bucks, right? Actually, I find it hugely satisfying to pull off a DIY job like this. A little domestic pride :)

Structube Glass Dining Table

Seat everyone in style and comfort with this guide to selecting the best dining table for your space.

SHAPE MATTERS

Circular tables are good for conversation and feel more inclusive, making it easier to talk not just to your immediate neighbours but everyone. Square and rectangular tables will line up neatly with other furniture and can be pushed against the wall if you need space, for a party, for example.

Image: Getty

SIZE IT UP

As a rule of thumb, a square table measuring 90cm x 90cm, or a 90cm diameter circular one, will seat four people snugly. For six people, a rectangular 150cm x 90cm table, or a circular 130cm diameter design will work. For eight people, allow a table of 200cm x 100cm, or 150cm diameter.

Get the right size of table for the space. When you've found a table you like, and before you buy, check if it will work in your space. Cut and stick together sheets of newspaper to the size of your table, and lay the template on the floor to give you a sense of how it will fit. Remember you'll need around 60-90cm from the table edge to the nearest wall/piece of furniture, and if you can spare 100cm there will be even more room for people to walk behind seated diners.

Consider tables that can be extended if you like to have a big crowd over. Gateleg tables, which have a flap or flaps that fold down, are perfect for compact rooms. Check that there's enough space when at its maximum size.

Image: Getty

TWICE THE VALUE

If your table will double as an eating and working space, you'll need one with a practical, hardwearing surface. For instance, a design with a top that can be re-oiled or painted would be better than a lacquered one.

How to Calculate the Best Table Size for Your Dining Room

ErikaWittlieb/CC0/Pixabay

Congratulations on your decision to get a new dining room table. Choosing a new style of table can change the whole vibe in your dining area. It's important to choose a table that fits the size of your room so there's room for everyone to walk around. Taking the time to measure the size of your dining room and comparing your open floor space to standard table sizes can help you choose a piece of furniture that's a good fit for your home.

Determine the Size of Your Dining Area

Hook the end of a tape measure to something solid against the wall, like the door trim, or have a helper hold the end against the wall. Measure all the way across the room to the opposite wall. Make a note of this size, and then repeat the measuring process on the other two walls in the room. Multiply the two numbers together to determine the size of the room in square feet. If you're choosing a dining table for a room in a house with an open floor plan, measure to the edge of the area where you want the dining area to end.

Draw the Room

Sketch the room on a sheet of grid paper or enter the dimensions in a 3D room layout planning tool. While a larger open space around the table gives a room a casual, airy feeling, allow a minimum of three feet around the perimeter of the room for walking space. The remaining space in the center of the room is the maximum to allow for a dining table. It's easier to fit a small table into a large room than it is to crowd an oversized table into a tiny room. If you have extra floor space available after placing your dining table, you can adjust the way it's positioned in the room to enhance the flow of foot traffic and increase visual appeal.

Consider Decor Elements Around the Room's Outer Edge

Some pieces of furniture are big enough they're hard to move, making them almost a permanent part of your floor plan. If there are other large furnishings around the outer edge of the room, such as a hutch or curio cabinet, be sure to include the dimensions of those items in your sketch and in your calculations.

The Role of Table Top Shapes in Choosing Table Size

This is a tip you may see at play if you look closely at tabletops for restaurants. This is because restaurant tables are often packed in snugly to provide seating for as many patrons as possible. When space is at a premium — for example if you have a small dining area and can't arrange it to leave floor space around the table — consider a round or oval table. The rounded edges of the tabletop can allow for foot traffic.

Consider a Table That Has a Leaf

Choosing a table that has a leaf is one easy way to accommodate an occasional large group while enjoying the coziness of a small table. Just add the leaf when guests are coming over and remove it when there's a smaller group present. Floor space may be tied up with the leaf is installed, but it's also freed up when you restore the table to its smaller leaf-free size.
