Why Is My Husband Losing Weight Faster Than I Am?

Do you have a husband or partner who seems to lose extra weight with ease while you struggle to shed even a few pounds? Perhaps you’ve watched as he indulged on all sorts of junk food while you dieted, only to find that his weight was still healthier than yours. Or perhaps you’ve both embarked on a journey to lose those extra pounds but have found that he seems to be the only one succeeding in this endeavor.

First of all, let me assure you that this isn’t just your imagination. Men and women have different bodies and hormones, and these do affect weight loss. Although some women may find that it’s easier for them to lose weight than it is for their husbands, the opposite is generally true. Here are some of the reasons why most women have a harder time losing weight than men do.

Food Preferences
Men and women often prefer different types of foods. Men tend to eat more meats and proteins while women often gravitate towards fruits and vegetables. Different eating habits will obviously affect your weight and metabolism.
