Although this article has some good points, some of it could be combed through. I would like to ask the author for her sources on some of the quotes…
Men do usually lose weight faster than women, but it is usually not because of any psychological factors like this article claims. The author of this article has generalized women and put them all in a stereotype of the weak-minded emotional ice-cream gobbler. If you are a woman who is having trouble losing weight, don’t buy into this garbage. Thinking that it’s harder for you to get into shape because of what’s in your mind will only give you an excuse for failure. You are well equipped mentally and physically to live a healthy lifestyle. There is one simple rule for losing weight: Burn more calories than you consume! The basic rule for metabolism is this: The more you weigh, the higher your metabolism will be, because you will need to burn more calories just to pump blood through your arteries. So yes, dieting slows down your metabolism, because it’s working!

One tip I saw that I really liked was this: Eat home-cooked food, or, as our grandparents called it, FOOD.

Good luck, ladies! Start today and you will be on your way to strength and vitality!

My husband use to weigh more when we lived up north for 6 years,now that we are back in rotten florida,he seems to loose weight,more often,he seems to have high metabolism,so he is always doing something,and he eats good. On the other hand,I use to be much thiner and had high metabolism,but since I been sick and really depressed, more so since we moved back to Florida in 11/05,hate Florda now both of us,cause we feel like fish out of water,cause we always lived close to ocean,plus now we live inland, an dit is to darn hot,plus we have terrible neighbors,it’s boring here,and all our friends moved away and hate Florida so much also they refuse to come visit,and both sides of our family are total jerks. And we payed way to much for house in 05,now feel doomed,for who knows when the prices of homes in florida will ever rise,it has caused undo stress and health problems for us,but we can’t sell our house,for we would take to much of loss,and we need the money to put down on another house up north,for the homes up north have not lost that much equatity,so were 100% stressed out all time,for their is no place to go,without being in rotten florida. For at least back home in New England,we are next door to Ma,Ct and not that far from NH or Me.Here no matter which way you go your stuck in Rotten Floraida? Can’t afford to take trip back home cause between either flying or driving,then tolls,and having to stay in motels and eat out for at least 2 weeks,is very expensive,for we have rotten relatives up north an dour friends are odd,so we would rather not stay with them,so we can’t take trip north,not until we can move back,when ever that may be? Sure pray it’s soon.

While men may find it easier to lose weight…women can certainly achieve their weight loss and health & fitness goals.

1 – Get a firm ‘mental lock’ on the goal(s).
2 – Fuel your body properly. Balanced and structured for weight loss without sacrificing energy.
3 – Get physical and take some action.

With a proper positive state of mind, good dietary choices, and active lifestyle (exercise)…goals can be achieved.
