Lose Weight Like A Guy

Men are big losers -- when it comes to weight loss. Some guys can just cut back on how much they drink and drop double digits without doing much else......very frustrating for women to see.

Here are four tips to help you lose weight like a guy.

1. Lift heavier weights. Women tend to use small weights and do isolated exercises -- which means lots of work for limited results. Instead, lift like a guy and take on weights that make you strain (without hurting yourself) to do 8 - 10 reps. The bigger your muscles, the easier you burn fat.

2. Don't use food as a therapist. Women are twice as likely to use food for comfort or to fight moodiness (women are twice as likely as men to be moody to begin with) making them four times more likely than men to emotionally eat. Take a breath. Try to figure out whether you're eating your emotions or you're actually hungry.

3. Make time for yourself. Guys don't usually feel 'guilty' for doing something that they want to do. But women often find their only refuge is food. Instead, make time just for yourself every day, and plan semi-regular treats -- like a spa day -- so that you always have something to look forward to.

4. Don't give up your favorite foods. Guys usually cut back rather than eliminate their favorite foods. Women often go all or nothing -- then end up binging when their willpower breaks. Try allowing a small portion of your favorites every other day, so that you never feel deprived.
