There are a Few Reasons Why Men Lose Weight Faster Than Women

By Peter W.L. Owen

Should women have a different weight loss program than men? Husbands and wives tend to challenge each other to make a simultaneous effort to lose weight. They follow the same weight loss program and in the end the man loses more weight. Why does this happen? Let's look at a few points to keep in mind which might explain why men have more success in dropping those pounds.

Men and Women Have Different Cravings

Men tend to have a bigger craving for protein where women have a bigger craving for carbs. Have you ever noticed that men will have more to say about a nice tenderized steak? Women, on the other hand, will have more to say about a packet of potato chips. When you think about that you realize that carbs turn into fat far more easily than protein.

Men Have Bigger Biceps

We all know that men have a few more muscles tucked away here and there. They also are proud owners of testosterone which helps them in building bigger muscles. Not only does it help with muscle building, but it also helps to burn fat a bit faster. It is also possible for women to increase their metabolism by giving weight lifting a try.

Why do women think that aerobics and spinning are the only exercises they should do? Men are not the only ones who have access to the weight training section. Most women don't know that having a good set of weight training exercises in their workout will increase the fat burning process.

It's Time for the Husband to Help Out in the Kitchen

You might think that in these modern times men have started to cook for there families. Men usually get home from a hard day's work and just want to relax. His wife is the one who prepares the food in the kitchen. She is completely surrounded by all of nature's temptations.

The wife has to make sure that the food is ready before she serves it. The only way she knows if it's ready is if she takes a bite every now and then. Her weight loss plan is falling apart and she doesn't even know it.

Conclusion

Men and women should have the same weight loss plan. If you think about it, will you be able to cook differently for two people every night? You will be burned out be the third evening and never manage to finish the diet. Both of you should do as much research as possible and set your minds on a program which will be fun and exciting.

When both of you have set your minds on a specific diet, the next step would be to find an ideal fitness plan that will boost the fat burning process. You have to stick to one another and keep your goals in mind all the time. At first you might think that a specific program for women or men is the right choice, but it isn't. Your program should focus on eating the right foods at the right times and spend enough time in the gym. - 29958
