It is important for us to understand the differences between men and women in weight loss as men are biologically different from women. Generally, most women struggle with weight more than most men. One of my female friends claims that female feel stressed and demotivated when they try to lose weight together with their partners. In her case, it seems that her husband can lose weight easily even in his sleep but she starves herself all week long and does not even lose a pound.
Do you have the same above experience as well? That is why we need to understand the differences between men and women in weight loss. This will help you (or your partner) feel more confident on your weight loss schedule and thus will not simply give up in any program for weight loss.
Below are 5 differences between men and women in weight loss:
1) Women naturally have a higher percentage of body fat than men. Men require only 3% essential body fat to properly function the body while women require 12% of essential body fat due to their reproductive organs and breasts.
