Do men and women diet differently?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When it comes to dieting it may be true that men are from Mars and women are from Venus!
Wellnes expert and dietitian Mary Kaye Sawyer-Morse,PhD, RD says when men want to lose weight they jump
right in with confidence they will succeed while women don’t experience an increase in self confidence until
they’ve lost a few pounds and acheived a small measure of success. Other findings: More women think
they’re “fat” while men often underestimate the degree of their weight problem. Women, more so than men, are
emotional eaters and list overeating triggers such as stress and depression. Meanwhile, women seem to have a
better handle on a balance of diet and exercise while men focus first on working out more to drop a few pounds.
So guys? gals? How do you think gender plays a role in the weight loss game??
