When Comes to Weight Loss - Men and Women Are NOT Created Equal

For starters testosterone and estrogen are dramatically different from man to woman and even more specific to weight loss leptin levels are also different.

Leptin plays a vital role in the control of appetite, metabolism and the signals involved in weight gain and weight loss. Leptin levels rise when you eat and fall when you're not eating. This effect seems to be worse in women than in men and it's because women have higher leptin levels to start with that drop far lower than a mans when they diet.

In other words, when it comes to leptin levels and dieting, women have higher 'highs' and lower 'lows'. It's these dramatic swings in leptin that can lead to the crash and rebound weight gain that so many women experience on standard restrictive diets.

In contrast a man's leptin levels rise and fall very predictably and within a relative small range. This explains why men seem to have an easier time losing weight than women. Women on the other hand experience dramatic swings in leptin that require a more intelligently designed diet to minimize these big swings in leptin levels. Women need these strategic "eat-up" days throughout their weight loss program to prevent their leptin levels from crashing and rebound weight gain from happening. Visit The venus factor
