Reason #3: You've been trying a weight loss system that's NOT focused on the female body.
Did you know that…
ONE: On average, women have 6 to 11% more body fat than men.
The female body is built for childbearing that's why we have more fat. That's great from an evolutionary perspective; for FAT LOSS… not so much.
And if you think that's a bummer, scientists have discovered that the FEMALE hormone estrogen reduces our ability to burn energy after eating!
TWO: Women have LESS fat-burning tissue (muscle) than men.
Thanks to the MALE hormone testosterone, men have more muscle than women.
And since muscle burns more calories than fat, men have a faster metabolism — up to 10% faster to be exact!
THREE: And this last one is a harsh, cold, brutal fact… women are literally… genetically… more hard-wired to crave carbs than men.
The reason? It's that time of the month.
Without getting too technical, here's the basic reasoning behind this.
There's a neurotransmitter called serotonin, which scientists believe is responsible for maintaining mood balance.
It's even sometimes called the ‘happy hormone’.
Now, just before our ‘time of the month’, our serotonin levels take a nosedive.
When this happens, we crave carbs because carbs are known to increase serotonin levels.
If you follow conventional diet techniques, you will struggle to lose weight because you're female body structure and female hormones are FIGHTING you.
Simply put: you have a FEMALE body; so you need weight loss tactics designed specifically for it!
