In the weight loss contest, The Biggest Loser, the winner of more than 60 percent are male. In the real world is quite often we hear complaints about the difficulty of women to lose weight. Actually, what causes it?
According to Bob Harper, the cause is body composition. Although overweight, still, a man has more muscle than women. About 10 percent of female body weight is fat. Furthermore, studies have shown that a higher metabolism 3-10 percent of men compared with women who have the same age and weight. In other words, the more muscle, so the higher your metabolism the more calories you burn, even at rest.
This type of obesity was also influential. Men tended to have visceral fat, the type of fat that accumulates in the body especially around the organ. Therefore, men tend to be fat.

In contrast, women more subcutaneous fat stores are hiding under layers of skin, especially in the hips and thighs. This type of fat is more easily shaken, and also held.
Although visceral fat is more dangerous and lead to many diseases, a 2009 study by researchers from the University of Cairo show, the fat is more easily metabolized than subcutaneous fat. In summary, subcutaneous fat is more difficult to remove.
Other factors that influence can not be considered trivial in obesity is diet. The women ate mostly driven by emotional feelings. When stressed, sad, or tired, eating into their escape. Maybe that is why men are more intelligent in controlling appetite than women.
With all these factors, it seems the efforts of women in losing weight are two times more difficult. But the composition of the body is not that hard to change destiny. All you need do is to think more creatively, for example, just look for any distraction impulsive urge to eat.
Basically, no one instant in weight loss efforts. To be successful, all must be done in the long run. Make a good diet plan so that the body remains healthy.
