Ladies, Why You Struggle to Slim Down Despite Diet Control?
Updated: May 13, 2024
We often receive questions from women who struggle to slim down and lose weight despite adhering to a low-calorie diet. So, where does the problem lie?
Why Do More Women Struggle to Lose Weight Than Men?
Indeed, it is true that more women struggle to lose weight than men. But what could be the reason behind this?
Many women enjoy chatting with friends and savoring sweet cakes more than men do. Yes, there is scientific reasoning and evidence behind the failure of diet control!
Medical science has found that female rats consume water mixed with sugar more than male rats. This behavior is attributed to one factor—female rats have "ovaries". But what about female rats whose ovaries have been removed? As expected, they do not consume as much sugar water as ordinary female rats do.
When we injected estrogen (a female hormone) into rats without ovaries, they began to consume nearly twice as much sugar water. This study led us to understand that sugar is required by females for egg fertilization and growth in the ovary.
Therefore, it is natural to believe that women differ from men both physically and mentally. Women enjoy chatting with friends, and of course, this often involves coffee and cake. Sometimes, while shopping, women have a habit of tasting food samples before making a purchase. Also, when women cook, of course, they taste their dishes. They tend to do this more than men. Moreover, their physical and mental functions, as well as their roles, differ significantly from men.
One useful tip is to record your weight in the morning and evening. This will genuinely assist you in losing weight.
By simply keeping track of your weight, we've noticed that the success rate in losing weight is over 60%, while women who don't do this have a failure rate of 40%.
Many women who have successfully lost weight reported a loss of 4-5 kilograms over three months. We all know that sweet foods contribute to fat gain, especially in the abdominal area. It's a known fact that women consume about twice as many sweets as men. This is largely due to the female hormone called estrogen.
However, there are times when female hormones decrease, about ten days before the menstrual cycle. We recommend engaging in some simple aerobic exercises and diet control during this period. This will be effective in losing weight, as the estrogen in the body will be consumed more easily, and you won't feel like consuming as many sweet foods.
Simply doing up-and-down steps 20–30 times, or jump rope exercises 20 times before each meal every day will reduce your stress and eating habits.
These simple exercises don't even take 20 seconds. Wow, wouldn't you like to invest just 20 seconds before each meal if it could help you slim down and maintain your beautiful figure?
By doing these simple exercises, you can manage your high blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and stress more effectively.
We also recommend that you control your diet with your friends. This will encourage a sense of competition, making you more eager to succeed. It's often lonely to jog alone, but with friends or a partner, you'll likely stick with it for a longer period.
