Dietitian Elena Solomatina: one of the reasons for the ability of men to lose weight quickly is the presence of the hormone testosterone.
According to dietitian Elena Solomatina, weight loss is always easier for men compared to women. The specialist explained that the male body initially has a more developed muscle mass (the more muscles, the less fat).
“Muscle mass at rest, even at room temperature, consumes more energy, therefore, more calories are spent,” said Elena Solomatina.
The expert added that the development of muscles in the male body is determined by the influence of the sex hormone testosterone.
Commenting on the presence of excess weight in men, nutritionist Solomatina stated that it is mainly unhealthy habits that lead to its appearance. In particular, the lack of control over the consumption of harmful foods, alcohol, as well as late meals
“In the evening, when they already come home from work, they sit on the sofa, sweep away all the food that they should have eaten during the day and go to bed. The body simply does not have time to process this food, ”the doctor noted in an interview with the Vzglyad portal.
Also, Solomatina drew attention to the addiction of many men to beer. The expert said that this habit contributes to an increase in the level of the stress hormone cortisol, which increases anxiety and anxiety, which affects cravings for sweet and high-calorie foods.
