Weight loss can be a challenge for both sexes, perhaps even more so for women, given the differences between them and their male counterparts involving hormones, their body composition, dietary choices, and lifestyle. Weight Loss for Women details what factors may affect an individual’s efforts to lose weight, what has been shown to work in current research, and how a woman can succeed in her efforts to control her weight, considering the challenges she faces. Among the topics covered: hormonal differences between men and women, how hormones can affect weight loss in women, current research specific to women and weight loss, and age-related changes in women that impact weight-control efforts. Produced in cooperation with the American College of Sports Medicine.
