It was not fair, you are desperately diet, but the numbers on the scale weight has not also shown weight loss to the ideal number. Meanwhile, your husband last week and said the body considers it extra 5 pounds, now look slim again. Why men can easily lose weight, while we, who have set the pattern of eating, the body weighed regularly, keeping the activity, it was difficult to achieve ideal weight?

"One reason is that men have more muscle mass than women big. This helps them burn calories, 30 percent more than women," explained Cynthia Sass, author of Your Diet is Driving Me Crazy. According to him, in general, women have more body fat and tend to keep it biologically. Moreover, he did not have to get through the rise and fall of hormones that to happen women every month. In addition, men also have habits that allow them to lose weight more easily. What?

Far from a "sweet tooth"
A study conducted by Cornell University states that women tend to seek peace on the sweet food as an escape from feeling sad or depressed, while the men "ran" to the fleshy food. That is, men tend to run to the protein, to make him feel full more quickly, while reducing hunger at meal time later.

If your weakness is in the dessert or candy sweets, try to switch with the previous protein foods. For example, low-fat cheese with sweet fruit. Or, combine, for example, with chocolate almonds.

Not taken into feeling
When a woman feel like a failure of a thing, there is a trend that self-pity. The next step? Finding food for the flight. While men, generally they do not bring a problem or burden to the protracted feelings.

In addition, Pamela Peeke of the University of Maryland School of Medicine said that men generally avoid perfection to avoid the pain when it is not reached. While the woman, who had started the diet will automatically expect perfection from 0 to 100 percent overnight, which is a potent recipe for failure. Advised to expect to reach 80 percent of your goals. When you only target at 80 percent, then you will feel proud when he achieved 120 per cent, or was still able to advance when it reaches 50 percent. Still be able to forgive yourself when only reached 20 percent when you are entering periods.

Weights
Most women, when went to the gym tend to practice the power, but some experts argue that women should be lifting more weight, like a man. When a man lifting weights, he would try to lift the heaviest load and diverse, this will help the formation of muscle more quickly. While women tend to lift light loads only. Try to start using a heavier weight and add when you're already somewhat familiar with the weight.

Do not use food as therapy
Findings from research at the University of Minnesota said, trends, women run to the food to relieve the depression he experienced. Women twice as many to feel depressed than men, which means, two more meals. Even worse, after eating food that flight, she will feel guilty with himself, and felt more deeply depressed, and trying to cope with depression by eating more. While men think that the food would not be able to solve their problems, so anything with you.

Remove escape to the food habits by trying to assess the desire to eat that you face every time you start snacking. For example, with a 1-10 rate. Then align the numbers with the stress on that day. From there, you will be able to determine whether the sense of desire that you experienced true hunger and it was time to eat or because of the desire to escape from a bad mood right? It takes a strong desire and practice to be able to do this.

Remove the sense of anger
This is another reason he is not driving emotion into food storage closet. Men tend to do physical activity to expel negative emotions, eg, jogging or make something in the garage. Women? Most will swallow his own feelings, usually assisted by a big box of chocolates. In essence, when your mood apart, want to be angry, to cry, whatever bad mood, take your body to move, either by biking, hiking, whatever.

Time for yourself
Some women feel self-indulgence is to allow yourself to eat anything, as much as what he wanted. Starting today, try to take one hour in your day to pamper yourself. Give yourself something that is not in the form of food. For example, go to the salon, or shopping for clothes with a prescribed budget, of course.

Do not submit your favorite foods
When a woman dieting, we push ourselves to not touch the food-food "forbidden" until we are no longer able to hold it. In fact, according to Austrian researchers, the approach to the fulfillment of nutritional men tend not difficult and satisfaction oriented. They do not dismiss these foods "forbidden" by immediately. But, they will tend to reduce them. Meanwhile, according to University of Toronto, she will prevent him good food to eat fatty foods they like with immediately. Not only they will tend to "crazy" and eat too much as vindictive as having completed the diet, but also tend to eat these foods as much as possible before the diet begins.

So, when you'll start a diet, do not limit yourself of your favorite foods, only a portion into account. If you already know more than one small glass of ice cream is a sign of danger, began to busy themselves with other activities that also please you.

In essence, weight reduction is more likely on personality, rather than ability. Following the male mindset, at least in this case can help you get the desired size, plus train yourself to be a woman who is more in control.
