Fat Loss In Men

By Sammy Ason


Why is weight loss in males different from that in females? Simply put, females have a harder time losing fat than men do. It's important to note that regardless of genetics or choice of fat loss approach, women can still lose weight. Apart from genetics playing a role, men are more likely to lose weight because working out gives them the upper hand.

Genetics dictates that males have a learner built than women. It is also known that men develop more muscles as they reach puberty. As opposed to the female physique, the male body has a easier time building muscle mass. This shouldn't be discouraging news to females, as this main feature is considered to be masculine, while femininity is associated with a "softer" body. In addition, females can develop muscle mass of their own, although it can be a little harder to do.

It is a fact that the male hormone testosterone is present in a much higher rate in men than women. Testosterone causes the male body to develop a more muscle mass and is more conducive in the weight loss process as a result. Testosterone leads to muscle development and muscles are more likely to accelerate the rate at which fat is burned from the body. Males should take comfort in having a slight advantage over women in that muscle is key to fat loss. But that does not mean they should slack off and not participate in training their bodies to burn fat.

Men should eat more protein-rich foods such as lean meat, poultry, and legumes to increase muscle mass. This allows the body to more effectively reduce the proportion of fat to lean mass. For male fat loss to occur more quickly, exercise should comprise the main foundation in any plans that are made. Exercise can take many forms and is not limited to spending hours in the gym.

To become fit and lean, a variety of physical activities should be on your fat loss checklist. Playing sports and keeping active can accelerate weight loss. Bonus benefits of exerting your body is added strength and stamina. Other activities such as running or riding a bike can also have the same effect, while being fun at the same time.

While sports are a popular form of exercise, working out is the clear choice when it comes to burning off fat. This doesn't imply that you can't do both at the same time. But working out is better at targeting your muscles and allows you to tone your body. Before long, you too, will be able to see the definition in your body, if you choose to exercise. All in all, anybody is capable of getting results if they try their hardest to do so.
