WHY WOMEN FIND IT DIFFICULT TO LOSE WEIGHT


WHY WOMEN FIND IT MORE DIFFICULT TO LOOSE WT
Women have more tendency to get overwt. This is how I explain to my patient
1.      One has to maintain your weight at 18 as girl body is mature at 18 .So keep same weight all your life.
2.      Need for calories are less in women. More efficient machine. A sedentary women need only 1400 Cal in comparison to sedentary men who needs 2400 Cal per day.
3.      Thifty genes –for thousands of years men were hunters and women used to get leftovers. This has made body thrifty and it accumulates fat.
4.      Women have fluctuating hormones and it is a roller coaster ride all month  while male hormones remain same all month. This leads to changing moods all month ,from happy to depression. This is the reason why women have variable moods nad are prone to depression as compared to men.
5.      If a man is depressed he declines food while a women will eat more and espesialy eat more fatty and sweet food in an effort to remove depression.
6.      The satiety centre is in hypothalamus and ultimately influenced by higher brain. So the fight of flab is in brain and is won in brain. Once you have controlled your urge to eat and eat to live healthy no one can make you overweight.
7.      Even GEETA recognises this fact-In BHAGWATGEETA Lord Krishna is narrating various ways to achieve higher spiritual level or to find GOD. Every chapter narrates a new way to attain GOD. For Example-Hathyoga , Gyanyoga, Bhakti etc.
In last chapter it is written that our senses Vison,Hearing,touch,smell and taste are the hindrance for achieving this goal and taste is the most difficult of all senses to control. Even GOD recognise this fact.
