To lose weight, ditch the 'unisex' approach
Research suggests that weight loss strategies should be tailored to biological sex due to differences in fat distribution and metabolic function between men and women. Men tend to accumulate more visceral fat, increasing cardiovascular risk, while women often store more subcutaneous fat. A one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss may be less effective than sex-specific interventions.
