One week into the mandatory two-week "Phase One" of the South Beach diet: John has lost exactly twice as much as myself. That alone is enough to make me a militant feminazi! Why do men lose weight faster on a similar diet than women can?
But it is without doubt the easiest diet ever; if you follow the rules, you don't get hungry.
However, the second week has started and of course the water-loss weight was easy to drop – now comes the testing.
Exercise starts today with a Pilates session this morning and a real walk afterward.

Men tend to have higher amounts of muscle than women, and they tend to weigh more. More muscle = higher metabolism (on average 5-10% higher than a woman of the same height and weight), which means they burn more calories sitting on the couch than women do, and they burn more calories on a hike than women do. The only time we beat them is when we're pregnant.
