But, what I bet you didn't know is that exercising on a full stomach is a lot more effective than working out on a empty stomach. For example, if you take a brisk three-mile walk without eating anything previously, you might burn around 300 or so calories. So, try walking a mile or two after dinner for some extra fat-burning bonuses. And, while you are walking, remember to move those arms. Research has shown that exercise which vigorously works both the arms and the legs is a better fat burner than leg movement by itself.
Women certainly know that one.
Women have more fat cells than men and consequently have more trouble losing weight than men. Lean muscle tissue uses up more calories than fat. Furthermore, based on our heredity, we're programmed with different biochemical needs. This is why some people thrive on a vegetarian or Macrobiotic style diet while others starve and lose energy rapidly. No one diet works for everyone all of the time.
