How much does a man weigh is not the question but, it is how much fat has he accumulated? In our body, muscles weigh more than the fats do. Therefore your weight depends upon your muscles. The more you do exercise and feel fit, the more the weight you put on. But, you lose the fat. That is the sign of good health. Again, the question is not how much fat you have accumulated, but, it is where you have accumulated it. If too much fat has accumulated near the stomach, your risk factor is high. Because of this fat there is the danger of heart diseases, digestive problems, breast cancer (in women), Diabetes and early death. How to know you have a big belly or not? A woman must check the perimeter of her belly. If it exceeds 39 inches she is in the risk zone. She must go for tests to find out how much cholesterol she has; how many Lipids she has; and finally glucose test for Diabetes. Even if these tests indicate normal state, she must yet try to reduce the size of her belly.

A woman’s buttocks and thighs contain more fat cells than man’s, while a man’s lower abdomen contains more fat tissues than a woman’s. These fat cells are concentrated in the buttocks and thighs in women until their periods stop; then as Estrogen and Progesterone hormones are not produced, fats move towards their belly. While men are in young and middle age, the Testoterone – the male sex hormone – is produced and used to help remove the fat in the lower abdomen. But, when they become old, production of Testosterone falls, and as there is no more any act of displacing the fats from there, they grow big bellies.
According to the research conducted with regard to food with fewer fats, it is found that weight may be reduced even if more calories are consumed. Besides, fats contain twice the number of calories which carbohydrates or proteins have, as mentioned earlier, which means you can take more carbohydrates and proteins but necessarily less fats. So, reduce the fat in-take. Do the fat cells in the female body differ from those of the male body? When observed through a microscope, the fat cells in male body and female body look alike. But, when they are in the body, they come under the influence of different hormone and enzyme systems.
They, especially saturated fats, accumulate on the walls of the veins and obstruct the free flow of the blood and may lead to heart diseases and paralysis. When fats accumulate in the body unduly, the following health problems may crop up: Diabetes, High B.P. Bronchitis and other lung diseases, Joint pains like Arthritis, Skin diseases that develop between the layers of fat. Decrease the fat in-take.. it is because the fats in our food will directly reach the fat cells in our body while it is not so with proteins and carbohydrates. It is not so easy for them to get converted in to body fat.
