Gender riddle, why it is difficult for women to lose weight?

I have come to know that women's fat cells are very different from men's. which can be seen very clearly in the way women and men lose weight when following unisex food regulations and exercise plans. But it is interesting to see how exactly they differ when it comes to coommon food and exercises that people hoping to lose weight usually resort to. Unfortunately eating fatty foods affects women more since their fat cells are more eager to store fat. This is because women are prone to hormonal imbalance, primarily because of the cyclic hormonal flux during mensuration, and also because of the effects of pregnancy and menopause. So, I have come to know that women who want to lose weight must realise that their hormonal status plays an important role in their effort to lose weight

As i've read before, it's but natural for women to find it difficult to lose weight because we are designed to nurture so our body tends to keep more in preparation for a person to nourish. However, there are still women who can take off weights easier than others maybe because of genetics or their lifestyle.

hy there i am not a doctor( and i am a male) , i just guessing here , I think the reason is women hip is always wider then man hip ,because women have to carry baby when they pregnant , automatically women must have more fat then man, to keep baby warm and to keep their own body warm ,and maybe women fat is more elastic then man fat( i am sorry, maybe is like women Vag*** part(sorry if i am wrong cuz i don,t own it HAHAHA) that,s why women looks more fat then man . maybe like this if we change it to math way: 1 women fat = 1/2 man fat 2 women fat = 1 man fat if you ask why man are heavier then women is man bone bigger than women bone so i think God still fair when He create Adam and Eve Man: Heave bone inelastic fat ( blocky fat easy to burn) function: keep body warm special function : keep honey warm HAHAHAH Women: light bone elastic fat ( change follow the body shape,like V*** ) special function: to keep baby warm when pregnancy if you still questioning ask the real doctor HAHAHAH ( hope my guess will useful)
