Losing weight is hard. But it's even harder for some people than others due to a variety of factors: age, activity level, starting weight, sleep patterns, and yes, height.
You've probably heard that it's more difficult for people who are shorter to lose weight. And if you're on the shorter side, maybe you've even experienced this question. But is it really harder to lose weight for short people? And if so, why? We talked to weight-loss experts to investigate.
Fact or Fiction: It's Harder for Shorter Women to Lose Weight. So, let's deal with this question: "Sorry to say it, but it's true that shorter women have to take in fewer calories to lose weight than taller friends if all other factors are equal. In other words, the harsh reality is that even if you have the same activity level and the same level of overall health, your taller friend is going to be able to eat more and still lose more weight than you can. And because you have to eat fewer calories to see weight-loss results (or to keep your weight), it can feel a lot harder, she says. The reason is actually pretty simple: "The more muscle mass you have, the faster your metabolism(新陈代谢) works. Taller people have more muscle mass because they are born with it simply because of their height.”
