Getting in Shape for Summer: Why is Weight Loss Harder for Women?
Summer is quickly approaching.
Most people, women in particular, tend to focus more on their bodies this time of year. Who doesn’t want to look great in a swimsuit? If you’re like many women though, you may try every diet and workout plan out there with little to no results.
Women do, in fact, have a harder time with weight loss. There are several reasons for this that are both biological and behavioral. Here are the big reasons:
- Men generally have a higher metabolism.
- Women have a stronger emotional attachment to food.
- After a workout, a woman’s hormones signal to her body that it’s hungry.
