Why do women have an easier time losing weight?

Question

It seems women can lose weight no matter what. I see girls eating a whole pizza, sitting on their butt, watching TV all day while drinking beer all day, and they don't gain a pound. Meanwhile, men often eat healthy foods and have strict, vegan diets, as well as jog every day and men still don't lose weight or may even gain weight. This is why men are so self-concious about their weight. Why is this?

I don't know what type of facts your basing this assumption on, but it really is the other way around. Women's bodies are designed to hold on to weight more for the sake of fertility in the case of famine, etc. strictly for evolutionary purposes. Men have evolved to lose weight faster than women since being lean, on top of being stronger, is more of a biological necessity when it comes to getting food and protecting one's "clan". Also, the general rule of thumb is that, the larger to body and the higher the muscle mass, the higher the metabolism. Men are usually larger than women, so it makes sense that they lose weight faster. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, like some women can't gain weight despite eating all the junk food in sight and some men have a harder time getting lean and ripped than other men do. If you've ever watched weight loss shows like The Biggest Loser or even witnessed couples following the same exercise routines and meal plans, the men always lose the weight faster than the women do, which why it's so rare for a woman to win those types of competitions. You keep saying that you're using "facts" but I literally see no linked studies or sources... Are you a troll maybe?

Lol what. I think you have it the other way around.

Lol you know what, men actually have the easier time losing weight since their metabolisms are faster than women. Maybe it just appears to you that women lose it faster because when they attempt to do so they are more often more disciplined?

THAT IS NOT TRUE. Weight isn't easy to shed. It all depends on your body and your metabolosm, male or female

Evan_aa · Answer

Guys actually have it easier because you gain muscle quicker than us

I think it's hard to lose weight. I feel like i gain a pound just from eating two scoops of ice cream (it's impossible of course, but it's how I feel)

That's not necessarily true, it's about metabolism. Everybody has a different t metabolism, and unhealthy habits will catch up with anybody no matter who you are.

AshBrown · Answer

I don't think that is always the case. It all depends on the person's genetics and metabolism and being a male, female or debatable has no impact.

I'm under the impression that *on average*, *men* have an easier time losing weight because more muscle burns more fat, and, *on average*, men have more muscle

Eliora1 · Answer

That is not the case at all. I'd say its tougher for us to lose weight.

LOL, women have a much harder time losing weight, bro. They have to restrict calories more than men to maintain or lose weight.
