lbs, on their exercise programs. That was quite good for them, and
they did not continue gaining weight like the controls did, but it was
not the sort of dramatic weight loss that people achieve when they
control both diet and exercise. >>
the reason women are less likely to loose weight is due to increased
testosterone, if they are doing weight-bearing exercise. this activity raises
testosterone in women (not a bad thing in moderation, as essential for sexual
functioning).
accordingly, the women likely loose fat but gain muscle mass, so their weight
stays stable (if food intake is not controlled).
