Men have faster metabolism than Women


It is a fact, and I have to ask for an explanation to my God Almighty... why do men lose weight faster than women?

In lack of an answer I googled my anger out and found that indeed, men have a faster metabolism than woman. In fact men have two major weight-loss advantages.


  1. Body Composition: It enables them to to burn calories at a faster rate than women. Men are biologically programed to have higher amounts of lean mass or muscle.

  2. Activity: men tend to be more active than their female counterparts. Even when they rest men burn more calories. (not fare)

According to the book "Habits of Health" by Dr. Wayne Andersen. The female body was designed for pregnancy, life giving and providing food to its offspring. Females have fewer muscles, and therefore, burn fewer calories.

In addition testosterone levels are important to weight loss, again, men have advantage in this department than women.
