Men lose weight more easily than women for a number of reasons. First, they have more muscle mass. More muscle mass means when the body is at rest, it burns more calories, which correlates to weight loss. In addition to muscle structure, there is the hormone factor. Testosterone levels are important to weight loss and, because men naturally have more testosterone, they tend to lose weight more quickly.
