Do obese women struggling more than obese men in losing weight? Why?

YES,
As researchers recently found that women naturally have leptin twice as much of Men However, brand new research revealed the following bad news that explains why women can struggle so much to lose unattractive body fat and keep it off: the fat burning hormone Leptin in their body compared to men:

1.Women can be 3 times less responsive to Leptin’s signal to burn fat than men. This means even though women have a lot more Leptin they just aren’t using its fat burning potential. This condition is known as “Leptin Resistance”. An obvious sign of Leptin resistance is the soft, squishy, cottage cheese looking fat found in your problem areas. However, Leptin Resistance is just 1 of 2 unique problems that kills female fat loss.

2.The second unique problem women face with Leptin is that when dieting, your Leptin levels can drop twice as much and twice as fast compared to when men diet. 

As talked about, when Leptin drops your metabolism hits the brakes and slows right down. 

This is exactly why you experience frustrating weight loss plateaus on diets so much faster than men do.
