It is a question that asked frequently, do men lose weight faster than women? Women and men are not physiologically the same. Our bodies are different due to the way hormones change the balance between fat, muscles and the size of our bones. The testosterone hormone in men determines the size of bones, deepens the voice and causes facial and body hair growth. Muscle mass is also regulated by testosterone, which in turn regulates the metabolism. The more muscle, the faster calories are used, that are obtained from food. This is one of the big differences between men and women and between over weight people and those who are trim.
