MOST READ- 5 Main Reasons Why Men Lose Weight Faster Than Women

           Believe it or not, research has shown that men tend to lose weight faster than women, as it is just in their DNA – both physical and cultural.

Here are 5 main reasons why men get thin faster than women:...

1. Men have more muscles

Men typically have between 40 and 60 per cent more muscle structure than women. Because muscles burn more fat than other parts of the body, men have a built-in ability to burn fat more quickly than women. That is why women should do more weight exercises if they want to be fit and slim.

2. Men are conditioned to be better at stress relief

According to research, men seem to be better at shaking off their stress. They are conditioned to burn it off physically, to fix it and move on. That means that men generally produce fewer stress hormones that can inhibit weight loss and contribute to excess fat storage, especially in the belly.

3. Men are better at metabolising dairy and soy

Because women produce more estrogen than men (yes, men do produce estrogen), women are more affected by the estrogen-mimicking properties of soy and dairy, which can contribute to weight gain. Because of their hormonal makeup, men are better able to metabolise these and avoid their effects.

4. Men don’t diet as early or as often

Many women started their first diet at 14 while men start thinking about losing weight when they turn 40. For many women, dieting during adolescence negatively affects their hormonal development. But men’s metabolisms aren’t usually as broken down.

5. Doctors are more likely to address weight issues with men than with their female patients

Many doctors have confessed that they have more male patients than female. Men usually consult a doctor, follow all his strict instructions and drop 20, 40 or even 60 pounds right away while women try to lose weight taking one diet after another without consulting a dietitian."
