Study: Men lose weight easier than Women

SEE,  August 27th

According to a study published in the "Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism journal" After two months on a low-calorie diet, men lost an average of 26 pounds, while women lost just 22, .

Researchers tracked 2,200 overweight, pre-diabetic adults in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. For eight weeks, participants stuck to an 800-calorie daily plan, consisting of soups, shakes, hot cereals and vegetables.

Not only did men lose more weight, they got healthier than women. By the end of the study, male subjects had lower heart rates, less body fat and a lower diabetes risk than their female subjects.

Meanwhile, women experienced more negative effects from the diet, with larger reductions in “good” HDL cholesterol (which aids heart health) and bone mineral density (which leads to bone weakness). Their only win against males was losing more inches from their hips.
