Updated:6 years ago

New Delhi, Oct 13 (ANI): Men and women are different on various dimensions including benefiting from low-calorie diets, proves a study. In the study of more than 2,000 overweight individuals with pre-diabetes who followed a low-calorie diet for eight weeks, men lost significantly more bodyweight than women, and they had larger reductions in a metabolic syndrome score, a diabetes indicator, fat mass, and heart rate. Women had larger reductions in HDL-cholesterol, hip circumference, lean body mass (or fat-free mass), and pulse pressure than men. The findings have been published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism.
