More Men Go Down Weight Loss If There's No Woman
As we all know men are much easier to lose weight than women. But the weight will go down more if there were no women around.
One study found that men lose more weight if he is in a neighborhood of all boys. The success he gets because fewer men feel awkward if it is in session there are no women.
"A lot of men who say if it is in a very female-dominated meeting place in the conversation about things that matter to them one of them lose weight," says Zoe Hellman, head of public health from Weight Watchers, as quoted by Medindia.
The study involved 62 men who are overweight and are from the West Midlands. The man was following the weekly meeting not attended by women. Earned about two-thirds of men lose 5-10 percent of their body weight.
Researcher Professor Steven Robertson from Leeds Metropolitan University may be caused by a sense of camaraderie and togetherness as a team member among these men.
European Obesity Congress in Lyon, France expressed some men feel embarrassed if you have to talk about her 'fat' in front of women. But the men would feel more secure if it is in the spirit of men and greater competitiveness.
Additionally genetically, men are much easier to lose weight than women. This is because the male body naturally contains less fat and more muscle than women because of the hormone testosterone.
And women tend to have more alpha receptors (receptors that cause fat storage) in the hip and thigh, and the males have a faster metabolism than women.
