Men lose weight more easily than women. Is this study in Britain realistic? Why is this happening?
According to a British study, in fact, when it comes to losing weight, men and women are more likely to lose weight than women. In addition, some people were called to carry out experiments. But the result of this study is really realistic, because around us, people often find that men and women are also fat, but in the process of losing weight, men tend to lose weight more successfully, while women lose weight more slowly. So, why is this happening?

1. Different basal metabolism

If you know a little about fitness at ordinary times, you will often know that the amount of basal metabolism is determined by the muscle content of our body. If a person's body muscle content is high, then this person's basal metabolism is often high. In terms of muscle content, the muscle content of men is often much higher than that of women. Therefore, the total daily calorie intake of men is about 10% higher than that of women. Even if men don't exercise, simply lying in bed and brushing their mobile phones will consume more calories than women. So it makes it easier for men to lose weight.

2. Different fat storage

In fact, for women, the brain will automatically let the body store more fat, which is the result of biological evolution. These fats are usually found in women's abdomen, thighs and buttocks. Because these places can protect the important parts of women, and women are also responsible for giving birth and breastfeeding the next generation, the body will automatically store some fat, which will also make women's fat content higher. Men, on the other hand, are very different in fat storage, because men don't need to breastfeed or have children, so don't worry about this problem. Often a normal male's body fat rate can be as low as 10%. The lowest body fat rate of women is about 20%.

3. Different hormones

Since there are men and women, men will definitely have more androgens and women will definitely have more estrogens. But it is precisely because women have more estrogen in their bodies that women's appetite control is not particularly good. If there is less estrogen in men, there will be no such trouble, and natural self-control will be more sufficient. After fitness and weight loss, there will be no excessive desire for food.
