1. Look at the muscles
Many people know that the higher the body muscle content, the higher the basal metabolism and the more energy consumption.
The normal body fat rate of men is 10% ~ 18%, while the normal body fat rate of women is 20% ~ 25% because of male hormones.
So men are more muscular, stronger and have less fat than women.
Does that mean that men are more likely to lose weight?
Don't! Although women have less muscle mass than men, if they do the same strength training and eat the same food, there is no difference between women and men in gaining muscle mass.
Check the fat
Affected by the hormonal differences between men and women, men and women tend to hoard fat in different parts.
Men are more likely to become "apple-shaped", women are more likely to become "pear shape", and the obesity rate of women is higher.
Does that mean it's harder for women to lose fat?
Don't! Do the same strength training, women will use more fat instead of glycogen for energy supply, and women's "fat utilization rate" is higher.
This also brings two benefits to women. Women are not easy to get tired and have stronger endurance.
When men stop training, the fat utilization rate is higher and the "afterburner effect" is stronger.
Check the diet
The different diets that men and women like also determine the different weight loss effects;
For example, female compatriots especially like to eat sweets;
After eating too much staple food, bread, dessert, etc. Women are more inclined to convert energy into fat and pile it up.
Therefore, women who originally preferred sweets should adhere to a relatively low-carbon water diet (50% ~ 55% carbohydrates) in order to effectively reduce fat.
Men who don't like sweets can eat a little looser.
Look at the physiological period
Women are easily influenced by the physiological period.
There are always a few days of interruption every month, which is very, no, painful and fast. Maybe it's a bad mood, maybe it's a bad appetite, maybe life is worse than death, and that feeling can only be experienced by women!
Another point is that some girls start dieting and exercising crazily in order to lose weight quickly; As a result, excessive dieting or excessive exercise can not be ignored, and it is easy to cause menstrual disorder or no menstruation.
Therefore, female compatriots should not set their weight loss goals too far, but should reduce them slowly and steadily, and the war on weight loss should be fought for a long time.
5. Metabolism
When it comes to metabolism, muscles actually play a great role. The proportion of muscle tissue in men is higher than that in women, especially in the upper body. The content of androgen used to synthesize muscle is only one twentieth of that of boys (why girls are worried about big muscles).
The more muscles there are, the higher the basal metabolism will be and the more energy will be consumed. Every increase of 1 kg will consume 1 10 calories. Boys with more muscles will consume 5%- 10% more calories than girls. Don't all boys laugh? Therefore, the spicy gentleman will seriously let everyone practice strength, muscles are used when losing weight!
But! Yes! Don't be disappointed in girls, it doesn't mean that boys will lose weight faster. Because if you do strength training and healthy eating at the same time, the speed of muscle gain is regardless of gender. As long as you practice hard, no one will lose!
To sum up, in fact, men and women have their own advantages and disadvantages. Boys are more conducive to losing weight in terms of conditions (physical structure and athletic talent), while girls need more attention, but they are more demanding of endurance and self.
In short, men and women lose weight differently, not because of gender, you have an advantage; Both men and women should follow the scientific principle of losing weight; Customize your own weight loss plan according to your own situation.
