women more efficient....

imagine that.

i saw this in a jeff galloway email (jeff galloway is a running guru who suggests the interval walk/run method) and thought it was interesting.

"...Nature seems protective of women’s role as childbearer, and wants women to maintain adequate body fat for nourishing healthy babies. Hence, women are more energy efficient. Obesity researchers at NY’s Columbia University suggest a pound of weight loss in men equates to a deficit of about 2,500 calories, while women need a 3,500 calorie deficit! No wonder women have a tougher time losing weight then do men..."
