I was thinking today remember the show biggest loser on NBC, where people exericse and try to lose weight for the 100,000 dollar prize. I think it would be almost physically impossible for any woman to win the prize. Why Because women have breasts which consist mainly of fat so that already gives them a higher body fat percentage.


Thoughts??

that doesn't mean that women can't lose the same weight proportionally. men start at a lower body fat percentage than women as well, so while the end percentage for a man may be lower, a woman could actually lose more of her body fat and be the winner.

excuses are really good for making you fat.

I have read...while men can produce and make more muscle than woman which may give them the edge.......however a womans body is more adpt at burning fat for fuel than a mans.......and are better at endurance type sports.


however the show was about losing weight.....not a better b.f.p.......they weighed in and showed how much they lost....at least the parts of it I watched was like that.
