Do Women Find It Harder to Lose Weight?

A lot of posts have discussed, laughed at and even mocked the amount of expenses a woman can incur to look slimmer and attractive again. Right from invasive plastic surgeries to the tons of weight loss supplements; women usually are more conscious, and hence squanderers when spending money to slim down!


However, recent studies reveal that while many women go over the top while trying to cut down on the flab, the more subtle ones are indeed right in doing so. This is because women find it harder to lose weight than men, especially as while gaining weight, it is not only the belly that they need to shed from!

Men, it has been found, can lose weight faster because they can burn calories more quickly than women (at least about 15-20 calories more while running/walking). However, experts claim that this difference should not seem daunting for women – as the real reason behind the hard fat loss is the area where women gain weight.

While men who are slowly turning obese gain pounds on their waistline and neckline, women seem to gain the extra inches around the waist, on the buttock and arms. While extra fat around the waist is easily lost through exercise and weight loss supplements, flab on the butt and other areas are tougher to control and tone down.

However a stringent diet should help them win the case against obesity. For as Drew Carey and Kelly Osbourne show, weight loss is not impossible, though hard!
