It has often been suggested that men don’t need to work as hard as women do to lose weight. If it wasn’t bad enough to wonder why men seem to lose inches and pounds more quickly, it’s almost worse to have it confirmed!

Leslie Beck has written an article that has caused a stir between the sexes again. The Toronto-based dietitian has explained in an article printed today in the Globe and Mail, why it is that men really do lose weight more efficiently on average than women.

The sad truth is that the key points she makes about a man’s general approach to body image, working out and eating are not crazy or unfounded.

It’s hard to convince some women that:

a) their worth is not equal to their weight;

b) building muscle mass will not make them look masculine;

c) we need to be at a healthy weight for our long term health more than for beauty or vanity.

Health IS beautiful!
