Should Men and Women Have Different Weight Loss Plans?

By Peter W.L. Owen

Have you ever thought that you and your husband should be on a different weight loss program? It often happens that the woman challenges the man on a Weight Loss Speed Contest. What happens then? They follow the same diet, but for some reason the man, more often than not, lose more weight than the women. Could there be an easy explanation why this happens? Take a moment to understand some of the reasons why men are "luckier" than women when it comes to losing weight.

They Don't Crave for the Same Food

You probably know that women are more obsessed with having a packet of chips when they're in desperate need of a snack. Men tend to wait for dinner, because they've been waiting for that roast beef all day long. Meat is full of proteins and things such as chips are full of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates have the tendency to change into fat if you don't have a good workout in the gym. Protein does not have that effect of your body.

Men Have More Muscles

In general, men are more muscular than women. They were simple build to do more physical tasks. The reason for that is because they have more manly hormones called testosterone. Testosterone helps with building muscles and provides better support for burning fat. Weight lifting can however help the woman to decrease her body fat percentage.

Why do women think that aerobics and spinning are the only exercises they should do? Men are not the only ones who have access to the weight training section. Most women don't know that having a good set of weight training exercises in their workout will increase the fat burning process.

It's Time for the Husband to Help Out in the Kitchen

Even in this day and age women are still preparing food for the family. When the husband comes home he usually sits on the couch while reading the newspaper. The woman starts preparing the food and constantly gets tempted by what's in the kitchen.

She finds herself tasting the food more often then is needed to. The man on the other hand only eats after the food has been served. The woman probably doesn't realize how much it all adds up to.

Conclusion

I think that it's unnecessary for women to have a different weight loss plan. It's not really practical if the wife has to prepare two dishes. It takes far too much times and not only that, the diet becomes too expensive to follow through. They should take the time to consider different diets that are easy maintainable in their schedule.

When both of you have set your minds on a specific diet, the next step would be to find an ideal fitness plan that will boost the fat burning process. You have to stick to one another and keep your goals in mind all the time. At first you might think that a specific program for women or men is the right choice, but it isn't. Your program should focus on eating the right foods at the right times and spend enough time in the gym. - 17269
