AussieSam 234 Posted June 4, 2015 I knew I'd get your attention but this is regarding weight loss. Do you think men and women lose weight on an equal level or does one have an advantage ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jane13 2,256 Posted June 4, 2015 My husband can lose weight a lot faster. I, on the other hand...lose slowly, especially after I hit my 30's ;( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted June 4, 2015 My observation is that men seem to lose easier and faster than women. No idea if this is backed up with science or not. I bet most of your comments will be of the same ilk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AussieSam 234 Posted June 4, 2015 I think men lose faster just because they have a higher muscle mass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Mac 6,262 Posted June 4, 2015 Seems to me that the guys lose faster with less effort. If a guy works out and I work out, I think he will build his muscle mass faster, too. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted June 4, 2015 It seems that for many guys, they lose faster/have a higher metabolism. An old joke is that in order to lose weight most guys just need to swtich from regular beer to light beer. I know it's not true but sometimes it seems that way!

Stevehud 1,790 Posted June 4, 2015 All depends on the metabolic T rate. Testosterone is a key hormone in muscle building. Woman have less..Thank god lol. But here is the rub. We lose faster but we gain faster as well. Women have a much easier time keeping it off. and i say easier, not implying it is easy by any means. That needs to be said, losing isnt easy for men or women or no one would be overweight. So testosterone is a double edged sword. Also men average 8 years less life expectancy than women.
