Due to the changing lifestyle, obesity has started increasing significantly among people, due to which people’s trend towards weight loss has increased. Have you ever thought how different men and women are from each other in the weight loss process? It is generally the perception that men lose weight quickly than women, because their metabolism is faster. However, a study published in the Journal of Nutrition in 2023 does not agree with it. It has been told that if some circumstances are seen, then women can reduce their weight rapidly than men. Let us explain the reason for this. & Nbsp;
how this study was done?
This study published in the Journal of Nutrition was done by researchers from Britain and Australia. It included 2,500 men and women aged 18 to 55 years. All of them were placed on a controlled diet and exercise for 12 weeks. Under this, all the candidates were given a diet of 1500 to 1800 calories daily. At the same time, they were exercised 150 minutes a week. In the first eight weeks of the study, women reduced 10% more fat than men. During this time, the weight of women decreased by 5.2 kg, while the men only reduced the weight of 4.7 kg. However, after 12 weeks this difference decreased, the weight of men started decreasing rapidly due to increasing muscles. Researchers identified many biological, hormonal, and practical reasons behind this difference.
hormonal effect and & nbsp; Fat use
Women contain hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which affects fat storage and distribution. The study revealed that during exercise, the body of women used fat quite well as energy. Research revealed that during exercise, women melted 15 % more fat, while men mainly reduced carbohydrates. Actually, the process of breaking fat (lipolisis) is intensified with estrogen. At the same time, due to testosterone, muscles in men grow rapidly, due to which fat loss is very slow. & Nbsp;
Difference in metabolic rate of women and men
Men usually have more muscles, due to which their basal metabolic rate (BMR) is high. This means that even while resting, their calorie burn is more. In the study, the men’s BMR was found on an average 1800 calories per day, while the BMR of women was found to be 1500 calories. For weight loss, women focused more on their food and exercise, the results of which were also seen rapidly. According to researchers, women’s body was also able to burn fat on low calories, which can be the result of hormonal effect.
women are more disciplined than men
Research revealed that women are more aware than men about their food and drink. 70 % of the women involved in the study were disciplined about focusing on calories, paying more attention to nutrition and eating food in small porps. At the same time, men’s ability to control hunger was found to be low. Male candidates ate an average of three times a week, while in women, this figure remained half or 1.5 times. Due to this, the weight of women decreased rapidly. Apart from this, women looked much better than men mentally.
Such results were revealed in research
Research saw that the body of women proved to be better in using fat as energy. For example, it was revealed that during a 45 -minute fast walk, women reduced an average of 200 calories, out of which 60 per cent cut was made by fat. At the same time, men burnt 220 calories, in which fat was just 40 %. This proved that women can reduce fat rapidly than men in the initial stage. Dr. Emma Steel, the chief researcher of this study, says that women’s body is to use fat as energy in a better way. However, hormonal changes caused by periods, pregnancy and menopause etc. can affect the weight loss process.
