About losing weight: 4 facts that were hidden from us

1. Women and men burn and store fat differently

Due to differences in hormones, men can build muscle and burn fat faster. To achieve the same results, women need to exercise more intensely. The size of fat cells in women is also 5 times larger. This must be taken into account when creating training programs.

2. Petite women find it harder to lose weight than tall women

Short women have lower calorie allowances. They have a harder time creating a calorie deficit to burn fat. That's why tall women usually lose weight faster.

3. Don't trust the packages, read the labels

Manufacturers often mislead consumers. Some "low-fat" foods are high in sugar and calories. A label with a list of ingredients will help you make the right choice.

4. Don't be obsessed with the scale!

If you lost 2 kg of fat and gained 2 kg of muscle, that's progress! When your body becomes slimmer and more toned, you are on the right track. Gaining muscle mass speeds up your metabolism. Continue training and nutrition - and you will get the slim body you want!
