I knew I'd get your attention but this is regarding weight loss. Do you think men and women lose weight on an equal level or does one have an advantage ?

I don't know any scientific facts but my husband always seems to lose easier than I do..

My husband can lose weight a lot faster. I, on the other hand...lose slowly, especially after I hit my 30's ;(

My observation is that men seem to lose easier and faster than women. No idea if this is backed up with science or not. I bet most of your comments will be of the same ilk.

Men typically lose weight faster:

I think men lose faster just because they have a higher muscle mass.

Men lose faster, no question about it......

Lol you may be right

Seems to me that the guys lose faster with less effort. If a guy works out and I work out, I think he will build his muscle mass faster, too. Oh well.

It seems that for many guys, they lose faster/have a higher metabolism.

An old joke is that in order to lose weight most guys just need to swtich from regular beer to light beer. I know it's not true but sometimes it seems that way!

All depends on the metabolic T rate. Testosterone is a key hormone in muscle building. Woman have less..Thank god lol. But here is the rub. We lose faster but we gain faster as well. Women have a much easier time keeping it off. and i say easier, not implying it is easy by any means. That needs to be said, losing isnt easy for men or women or no one would be overweight.

So testosterone is a double edged sword. Also men average 8 years less life expectancy than women.
