Because they go to dinner and pretend they aren’t hungry and when they get home they dig into their stash of Dove Bars.
Yes, it is harder. We store fat differently.
I recommend a book called “Eating Alive” by Dr. Jonn Matson. Google it.
Dove is for amateurs.
See? Problem solved.
MMA girl Song Ga-Yeon lost 15 kg in the last few months to make the weight class for her pro-debut which happened about 5AM today.
Of course, she is far more disciplined than most people. And she fights like a guy too.

Pie, cinnamon rolls, and bon-bons.
I thought they told me those calories don’t count.
Insufficient muscle mass to burn the calories
Hmmm, sounds like you have some spy cams going.
Not my wife. She eats everything on her plate and half of whats on mine.
I used to do that. Eat sparingly in public, then go home and gorge. It’s a terrible habit, but I’ve conquered it.
One of the ways it differs is that men seriously TRY to lose weight, while all women do is talk about it endlessly, buy the new miracle-du-jour to lose the weight for them, and eat half a gallon of Haagen-Dazs while watching Oprah’s latest special on “Why Women Can’t Lose Weight.”
“Although experts have long insisted that losing weight is simply a matter of burning more calories than you consume, they now say that it’s much more complicated than that.”
No it isn’t. The complication is that you start making excuses. You get rid of the excuses and then you get rid of the weight.
As my farmer father inlaw once told once a cow never a heifer again.
Well I have to do all the cooking. How can I cook all this great stuff for husband and not eat it too?? If I was single I would no doubt be thin as a rail.
Seems pretty much on target, to me. The rest of the article goes on to say that women tend more toward emotional eating, which I can believe. If I let myself, I would do it-—oh, look, a plate of brownies, I’m not hungry but I’ll have one-—while my husband just isn’t interested in food unless he is really hungry. But I don’t want to be fat, so I don’t allow myself to do it.
It’s my personal theory that women tend to like carbohydrates more than men...from what I’ve seen, anyway. I have a good friend who has been trying for a long time to lose some pounds, but she loves her carbs, and until she can make a change there, she’s not likely to see the weight come off.
