Why Men Lose Weight Faster Then Women! #PLOT #P90x #Health #Fitness

Men vs. Women!

   Everybody wants to be thin. But as hard as both sexes are working at it, men still have an easier time than women shedding those unwanted wanted pounds. And there are several reasons why. One reason is most men have more muscles than women. Experts on the issue say that because men have more muscle mass than women, those muscles burn more calories while at rest. The rate at which one's muscles burn calories while at rest is called the basal metabolic rate. The higher the basal metabolic rate, the easier it is for someone to burn calories and lose weight. 


   "When they go on a diet, they just seem to automatically lose weight," said Eloise Doxie Dixon about people with high metabolic rates.


   Another reason men lose weight faster than women is that they have less body fat. Everyone has to maintain a certain amount of body fat. But the more fat, the harder it is to shed pounds. Women, on average, have a higher body fat percentage than men. Any amount up to 25 percent is a normal body fat level for women while any amount up to 13 percent is considered normal for men. The location and types of fat play a role in weight loss as well. Men usually have higher levels of visceral fat, which is located around the organs, in the abdominal area, This fat is easier to lose. 


   Women, however, have more subcutaneous fat, which is located right up under the skin in locations like the hips and thighs. It's harder to lose. On average, a man can lose between 20-30 pounds within a 30-day time period while a women in the same length of time will probably only lose 15-20 pounds. 


   In addition, sex hormones are also instrumental in body fat retention, Both men and women have the hormone testosterone, but men have more. Both sexes have the hormone estrogen, but women have more which allows them to bear children, but also contributes to the retention of body fat, doctors say. 


   We already know that men and women are from different planets. But one of the most frustration differences involves weight loss. It seems like us men can do a few pushups, run around the block, eat a whole pizza and still end up losing weight, but i still wouldn't eat the pizza. Meanwhile, the women are meticulously counting every calorie as it goes into there mouths, exercising like fiends and watching the scale move at a glacial pace. If that's your experience, you're not crazy. It's true that men lose weight faster than women and, believe it or not, there are some good reasons for this phenomenon. Researchers are spending more time looking at these differences and trying to figure out why women respond differently to exercise.
