???? A topic that comes up all the time: Does weight loss work the same for everyone? And more specifically… is there a difference between men and women when it comes to losing weight?
🔍 The answer is… NOT, it's not universal. And I'll explain why.
👨 Men's side:
Men naturally have more muscle mass, which means they burn more calories, even at rest. Once a man begins a diet or exercise program, he may see faster results initially. Why? Because their basal metabolic rate is higher.
👩 Women's side:
Women, on the other hand, often have more natural body fat, especially in the hips, thighs, and lower abdomen—it's hormonal, and it's NORMAL. Estrogen also influences water retention and fat distribution. The result? Weight loss is often slower and less linear.
️ But be careful! Slower doesn't mean less efficient. The female body is simply programmed differently. So, you need to adapt your approach: sleep better, manage stress, and eat in accordance with your hormonal cycles.
💡 In summary: No, weight loss isn't one-size-fits-all. Men and women have different journeys, but everyone can achieve their goals with the right strategy.
