<< If you are 6'3" three deuces doesn't seem excessive for you. Why do men lose weight faster than women? I suspect its those damn hormones again. >>
Hi Carol, Ha! According to today's USA Weekend, an insert in many major Sunday newspapers, men only have a slight advantage over women when it comes to weight loss, mainly because there is more muscle to burn calories when working out.
But here are some eye-opening statistics.
9 out of 10 on-the job fatalities are men
5 out of 7 victims of traffic accidents are men
4 out of 5 homicide victims are men
at least 4 out of 5 suicides are men
9 out of 10 HIV-related deaths are men. HIV is the #1 cause of death amoung men ages 35-54
Now if you ladies want equality, shouldn't you be contributing more to bring these averages up to parity?
Anyway, there is a pretty comprehensive report in the magazine. It is also anline at usaweekend.com
