How Men Lose Weight

By Sammy Ason


Why is weight loss in males different from that in females? Simply put, females have a harder time losing fat than men do. It's important to note that regardless of genetics or choice of fat loss approach, women can still lose weight. Apart from genetics playing a role, men are more likely to lose weight because working out gives them the upper hand.

What sets the male body apart from the female body in the weight loss arena is muscle. Males tend to be naturally leaner than women in that their bodies are prone to develop muscle during the development stages. Again, women also have muscle on their bodies, but males are more likely to develop it and have an increase in muscle mass.

The male body is able to build muscle as a result of the high presence of the hormone known as testosterone. Although present in females as well, it is found in very low levels. Testosterone allows the body to create muscle tissue. When it comes to fat loss, men can take comfort in knowing that they are built to burn it off, if they develop their muscles.

Men should eat more protein-rich foods such as lean meat, poultry, and legumes to increase muscle mass. This allows the body to more effectively reduce the proportion of fat to lean mass. For male fat loss to occur more quickly, exercise should comprise the main foundation in any plans that are made. Exercise can take many forms and is not limited to spending hours in the gym.

To become fit and lean, a variety of physical activities should be on your fat loss checklist. Playing sports and keeping active can accelerate weight loss. Bonus benefits of exerting your body is added strength and stamina. Other activities such as running or riding a bike can also have the same effect, while being fun at the same time.

Even though sports are effective, the number one choice activity for fat loss, is lifting weights. This, by far is the best solution for building muscle. Exercising requires more dedication and patience. Results don't appear overnight, but once you lift weights regularly, you will notice a difference in how your look. Overall, it is much easier to burn fat for men than women, for these obvious reasons. Still, anyone can reach their goals no matter what their gender is. All that is needed is a will to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
