William Bisset talks to former All Black captain and now men's health advocate Buck Shelford.

Many people I speak to tell me they would like to lose weight and be healthy, but struggle with forming new habits and sticking with them long term.

I asked Buck Shelford, legendary former All Black rugby captain, this question last week.

On the rugby field, Shelford was known to have a fighting, winning spirit. But in the past few years he has had an even greater fight to tackle ... cancer. He too lost 25 kilograms and what he has come to realise on his journey is that people need to ''step up and take control of their health''.

In particular, he has targeted men, who are often stubborn or staunch towards getting regular health checks.

He was alarmed when he discovered that men live on average four years less than women, and so he is on a campaign to encourage men to have regular check-ups and to live better.

He has been travelling the country promoting his book Buck Up, The Real Bloke's Guide to Getting Healthy and Living Longer. He discusses more about this on my video interview.

Budgeting versus eating healthily is an issue for many people. So I have been buying snap frozen vege mixes when they are on special.

I cut up heaps of ginger, a few cloves of garlic and lightly fry it in quality oil. I add chilli flakes and then add the veges with boiling water. I do not overcook the veges, just enough to soften them to enjoy, so I do not cook away all the goodness.
