Women and men are not physiologically the same. Our bodies are different due to the way hormones change the balance between fat, muscles and the size of our bones. The testosterone hormone in men determines the size of bones, deepens the voice and causes facial and body hair growth. Muscle mass is also regulated by testosterone, which in turn regulates the metabolism. The more muscle, the faster calories are used, that are obtained from food. This is one of the big differences between men and women and between over weight people and those who are trim.

The modern obsession with a thin trim look makes it even worse for the ladies. Constant attempts to drop the extra pounds causes the body to hang on to the existing fat and so weight loss becomes harder and harder as the years pass. The result, women become are increasingly trying all kinds of ideas in order to lose weight. This leads to dieting that makes the person slimmer, but not healthier. Quite on the contrary actually, since there are enough emaciated, rail-thin ladies around to serve as example.

Women and men working out side by side do not achieve the same results. Recent studies have found that women gain weight faster than men and also have a harder time getting rid of weight through exercise. Women have to work twice as hard as men to loose weight.

A recent study published by the BBC showed that 62 obese women who learnt how to cook healthier meals and exercised for four hours a week and felt a remarkable improvement in their sense of self. Their blood pressure, cholesterol and heart rates were far better even though they only lost nine pounds over 3 months. Maybe this is indeed the future of the weight loss industry: to help people feel better about themselves instead of harming their bodies while chasing a dream. So, maybe women should stop trying to achieving a certain weight to just staying healthy and feeling good regardless of weight.

One way women can lose weight is by preventing it getting there in the first place. One clinically proven product that can be used is Proactol.

Proactol works by binding fat in the stomach after food is eaten.

The effect of this is that up to 30% less fat is absorbed by the body thus reducing fat absorption.
Prevention is better than cure, so why not stop the weight piling on and instead stop it getting there in the first place.
