Fat loss for women - Is it really harder for women to lose
weight?
Fat loss for women - Is it really harder for women to lose
weight?
The fact is that women are predisposed to have higher body fat
than men, but that doesn't mean women have a harder time losing
weight than men. Women generally have ~5% more body fat than
men, but this should not discourage them from being as fit as
they possibly can.
As a trainer, I come in contact with several female clients who
are discouraged about certain part of their body. Often times,
these clients are resigned to the fact that their hips, legs,
belly, or booty will always be a problem because they are women.
I have to remind them that like women, men also have their
trouble areas (belly, love handles, etc.), but we don't have to
let these trouble areas rule our workouts.
If I could give only one piece of advice about nutrition and
exercise, it would be that we need to take control of the way we
eat. Our diet ultimately dictates how lean we will be. Our
trouble areas are completely dependant on our diets. The term,
"Garbage in - Garbage out" applies directly to how we nourish
our bodies. You can work out 2 hours a day, every day, but if
you are not feeding your body with healthy foods, then you are
not going to see any real results. Any Fat Loss Diet should
include not only rigorous exercise, but a well balanced diet
plan that anybody can follow.
A well designed Fat Loss
Diet should include:
* Fat loss motivational techniques * Fat loss information and
facts * Healthy fat free recipes * Nutrition and diet
information * Helpful exercise and diet charts
A woman who eats smarter will always be more fit than a woman
who works out harder. Ladies, take the time to fuel your bodies
with healthy foods and follow an honest Fat Loss Diet. You will
be amazed with the results once you put this powerful
combination to work. Good luck with the new you!
