Men the biggest losers...according to a diet study.
Dr. Helen Truby, a lecturer in nutrition and diet topics at Surrey University and one of the study's coordinators, said that while some of the male weight loss could be explained by the fact that men weighed more to start with, this did not account for all of the difference. "Men and women on all the diets lost weight, so there wasn't a clear, front-running 'best diet,' " she said.
"But it was clear that men have fewer emotional issues around food and are often helped by very supportive partners, so find it easier to lose weight."
