WHY IS WEIGHT LOSS ........Difficult for Women?



WHY IS WEIGHT LOSS DIFFICULT FOR WOMEN?


Introduction

This is an interesting study because of the high prevalence of fat women and the struggle women pass through trying to lose weight.  Most Saturdays, when I take my children to their physical exercise class, I see a lot of Fat women struggling to move their body in the gym.

Young women enjoy being called Plus size, but wait till they grow into their 30s and 40s and their joy will turn to disappointment and struggle.  It's always amazing how women gather weight within a few years of childbearing because of their change in body and eating more food etc.  If married women with children develop weight over time, how do you explain singles ladies that are overweight?

It is important to say that nobody should carry overweight into the Fifties because it could result in a slow movement, loneliness, and the need for financial and other supports from friends and relatives. In Africa, where there are no social security benefits, such an overweight woman will have to depend on relatives and her children if she has.

This is a pain that can be avoided early in life.  If you allow yourself to gather extreme weight, it will amaze you to notice that struggle will become a way of life.  When you walk a couple of meters from your house, you will be breathing so hard, you will be scared, then shame will set in, with all the inferiority complex and the difficulty to get a dress look good on your body.  When you get out of shape, none of your regular clothes will fit any more, so you will have to get new sets of clothes to fit your weight.

You need to pay attention to yourself now when you can still make some changes happen in your life. Watch this, if you get into your 40s and 50s being overweight,  and out of shape, you will have to manage to live a minimal life.

3. Metabolism: Women typically have more body fat and less muscle than men and that affects how many calories their body burns while at rest. 

4. Pregnancy effects. When a woman gets pregnant, she gains weight and more body fat. In addition, it’s often difficult for a new mother to find the time to exercise, which makes it difficult to control her weight during pregnancy.  Except she is disciplined about what she eats and the time she eat the food.

However, it can be moderated to give the woman the benefits of building muscle, such as increased metabolic rate and prevention of osteoporosis.  Press up helps you grow in muscle mass, you burn more calories, which decreases insulin resistance significantly and helps prevent diabetes.

CONCLUSION

For women, experts say that where your weight is may matter. If it's mostly around your stomach, and looking like 'Menopot', that may be riskier than if you have a "pear" shape, meaning that your extra weight is mostly around your hips and buttocks.

God has given us the ability to determine a lot of things concerning us.  Let us take good care of our body today, it could be an investment in good health and happiness tomorrow.
