Compare Weight Loss Between Men & Women
A good way to compare weight loss results between men and women is to calculate the percentage of weight lost and compare those results. This will also account for the fact that men tend to weigh more than women as well as the fact that men tend to lose weight faster. Women naturally have a higher percent of body fat than men, making it harder for them to lose weight. These facts are taken into account in reality shows such as The Biggest Loser to make it fair between the contestants.
Shrink Your Skin After Weight Loss
Weight loss is often a boost to your confidence, but loose skin can be a troubling result. Age, genetics and how rapidly the weight was lost can have an affect on how loose your skin will be after weight loss. In general, younger people have more elasticity and collagen in their skin, which makes it bounce back more quickly. When weight is lost rapidly, there is more of a chance of having loose skin, since the skin does not have time to adapt. The best way to shrink your skin after weight loss is to be patient and nurture your skin from the inside out.
