Why is it that Guys Lose Weight easily than Girls do?

"The truth is, men have two major weight-loss advantages over women: One involves their body composition, which enables them to burn calories at a faster rate than women; the second revolves around the fact that men tend to be more active than their female counterparts." http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=37981&sc=808 Well, even it is stated so, losing weight is also all about self-determination. Trust me that there are also much obese men that find it hard to lose their weight..

I agree it seems unfair. Men do seem to lose weight more quickly than women. I have watched shows like the biggest loser and the men always lost so much more than the women per week. It is understadable if they were more overweight, but even the ones who were not, lost weight faster..I'll have to go research why this is true now that you have made me curious about this.

It's just stupid for fat women to jog on the streets while men can jog without much worry. Girls have to get exercise equipment so they can have exercise indoors.

try a vegetarian diet, that should work for women just as well as for men. I can't remember ever having seen a fat vegetarian woman. There may also be a very few fat vegetarians but that may be due to very onesided alimentation like eating sweets or potato chips all the time.

Yes it is sooo unfair!!! All my guy friends, they eat so much but they never get fat. I mean seriously, it is so unfair. They munch on something all the time but never get fat!!

it think it has to do with metabolic rates and muscle consentration. women has less muscle tissue and probably more fat. also metabolic rates of men are faster than women.

Maybe it's the metabolism which helps us lose weight more easily. Can't say for sure, but it's true we do use a little more energy than women do, and generally we are taller and heavier making us use more energy for doing simple things like walking.

I think it is other way around, actually I think girls are thin and less belly than guys, because, I see lot of girls with thin belly and guys with a bigger one, and also if girls maintain a proper diet, they will be able to control weight easily, while among men it is very difficult, first of all very hard to maintain diet secondarily, very hard to reduce weight..

hi miessy ahm i can say that being a girl and i am fat also maybe because boys are hard worker , and also there metabolism are fast rather than the us because my boyfriend is thin but he eat many and my brother also , i if i eat many i will be fat fast but if the boys they are not maybe it is because of the metabolism.

I am a guy who used to weigh around 93 kg last year and is currently around 73kg. I went back to the gym like 3 weeks ago, and I focusing on having a better shape and hopefully burn some belly fat so that my abs will be seen and be more defined :). Like I have mentioned earlier, there are a lot of factors and one of them is how fast your metabolism is, which can also depend on genetics however there are ways to speed up your metabolism. I have a cousin who eat a lot and probably could eat more than me, however he is not overweight because he has a fast metabolism which he probably inherited as well from his parents who are according to him was also thin during their teens but just became fat or overweight when they got older. Anyway, don't be frustrated :), just don't give up and be motivated. Set realistic goals, if you really want to lose weight and have a good shape, you need to be really dedicated :). I suggest that you do more cardio work-out, have a good diet, enough sleep, avoid sitting too much and lastly if attainable, eat 5 times a day (divide your meals into smaller portions.) Wishing you the best :) Happy lotting!

I think guys move are bigger than girls which cost them more energy in the life time So guys are easier lose weight than girls.
