Women love a good figure, but why is it easier than men to lose weight and fail?
Compared with men, women care more about their appearance and figure, so women often place special emphasis on losing weight and maintaining their figure shape. Unfortunately, women are generally more likely than men to gain weight and fail to lose weight.
In fact, there are inseparable reasons why women are prone to failure to lose weight.
Women prefer to eat
Compared with men, women prefer to eat, which seems to be a consensus. When women eat, they need to satisfy more than just their stomachs. Food pays attention to color, aroma, and this is the same for both men and women. But women are more concerned about color than men. The target customers of the colorful fruit teas and cakes on the street are mainly women. Women do seem to have little resistance to this.
It is a pity that often colorful fruit teas, cakes, and snacks are foods with high fat and sugar in addition to having a lot of pigments. Eating too much naturally does not benefit weight loss.
Why do women like to eat more? There is an evolutionary psychological explanation for this. According to Daniel Kruger, a professor at the University of Michigan in the United States, women in ancient times spent most of their time collecting food; since the cave era, women have gained the power and responsibility of selecting food. If they choose the wrong food, they may die. This behavior is preserved in women's genes. Even in modern times, women will still go out of their way to measure the look and taste of food and spend a lot of time studying delicious food.
Women are more likely to accumulate fat
Not only do women prefer eating, they also tend to accumulate fat. This has become another difficulty in losing weight. We all know that women have more subcutaneous fat than men. This is not only the reason why they prefer snacks as mentioned above, but also because women are more likely to get fat and more difficult to lose weight than men.
In the Paleolithic era, men had to go hunting, while women stayed in the cave to do housework. Their task is to have children and nurse children, so they must ensure that they have more fat as energy reserves. Perhaps for this reason, when women have a lot of fat, they will be more able to secrete estrogen. Without enough fat, women cannot even enter puberty, give birth, and enter physiological period and pregnancy. Perhaps, when there is not enough fat, the body will think that it is not ready to reproduce because the above-mentioned physiological changes will not occur.
Asian women have more fat
Women prefer to eat, and even prefer to eat high-sugar snacks, and they can accumulate fat more. This makes it even more difficult for women to lose weight. What's even more tragic is that as Asian women, it is even more difficult to lose weight. Because even for women alone, the efficiency of storing fat varies. For example, regardless of the BMI value, Asian women have more body fat than European women. So, even with the same height and weight, Asian women look a little fatter than European women, and this is not just because of their big faces. Even if the BMI is up to standard, some women may still lose weight and lose weight again.
