Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of weight loss on bone health in men
Detailed Description: This pilot study of the effect of weight loss on bone health in men is being undertaken in conjunction with studies of the effect of weight loss on bone health in women for comparison purposes See NCT00473031 NCT00472680 and NCT00472654 This information is important for determining optimal nutrient requirements during weight loss

Participants will be recruited for both weight loss and weight maintenance All participants will be asked to take a daily vitaminmineral supplement and depending on their usual food intake they may be asked to take a calcium tablet to meet the recommended intake throughout the study period Weight loss participants will attend regular counseling sessions about 45 minutes each with a dietitian for approximately 6 months they will be asked to attend 6 sessions but will be given the opportunity to attend 13 sessions Body composition will be measured by a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry DXA machine ultrasound and peripheral quantitative computer tomography pQCT before and after 6 months of weight loss Bone mineral protein and lipid markers and hormones that influence bones will also be measured
