How Does Your Mind Work?

About

Psychological tests developed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Sally Wheelwright, and their team at the University of Cambridge, England, can give you insight into the way your brain functions. Specifically, you can discover if you are more prone to empathize or systemize. Understanding how your mind works best naturally could enable you to make better study and career choices throughout life.

EQSQ.com centers on the Empathizing-Systemizing theory of the male versus the female brain types and how this knowledge can be applied to life choices to make more informed decisions. Systemizers and empathizers can find information and resources related to education, educational programs and career choices.

Men lose weight more easily than women

Yes, it is true, life is unfair. It's not just that men earn more than women, that they have more life choices, that they can go topless when women can't. They also lose weight more easily than women.
Men hold two big advantages over women when it comes to losing weight. According to WeightWatchers.com, the first is that a man's body composition typically contains more muscle mass than a woman's, which means that he will burn more calories than her even at rest. The second involves a man's activity level. Men tend to be more active than women. A study in the American Journal of Physiology found that women burn an average of 16% less calories than men during the day. Furthermore, women's resting metabolic rate was 6 percent lower, and that in physical activity women burned 37% less calories men. The guys simply burn more calories and will lose weight more easily as a result.
Yes, men do have less fat than women: men tend not to have (although you can find specimens who do on any beach near you) the subcutaneous fat that women do (otherwise known as breasts and hips). This means that for any given weight a man will have more muscle than the woman. This higher muscle mass means that when men do do anything they'll be burning more calories when they do so. What adds to this life is unfair story is that in our culture it tends to be the women, those who find it hardest to lose weight, who do all of the dealing with food. The shopping and planning for, the preparation of and the serving up of. This of course, being surrounded with food all the time, makes losing weight more difficult again. To put the final cap on the unfairness women seem to care more about their weight, about an extra few pounds here or there, more than men do. So they attempt to diet more often than men. So, women care more, have to deal with food more and yet find it more difficult to diet than men do. Nope, life just ain't fair.
