Why is it hard for women to lose weight and men aren't?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's a : Generalization. Men often have more muscle mass to burn calories effectively - so their rate of loss may be different. If a man is too aggressive with weight loss - he may catabolize more muscle . Muscle weight more than fat. Many men struggle with trying to lose weight.
