Overweight men experienced greater weight loss than women on a restricted diet, but women mobilized more fat, particularly from limbs and hips, while men showed increased muscle breakdown.

Area of Science:

  • Human Physiology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Obesity Research

Context:

  • Investigating sex-based differences in weight management is crucial for personalized obesity treatment strategies.
  • Understanding body composition changes during caloric restriction provides insights into metabolic adaptations.
  • Previous research has yielded mixed results regarding sex differences in weight loss and fat mobilization.

Purpose:

  • To compare weight loss and body composition changes between overweight men and women on identical calorie-restricted diets.
  • To assess differences in subcutaneous fat reduction and muscle breakdown between sexes.
  • To determine if sex influences the pattern of fat mobilization during weight loss.

Summary:

  • Overweight men and women (BMI 29-36 kg/m2) received a 700 kcal/d diet for 4 weeks.

  • Men achieved greater overall weight loss (13%) and exhibited more negative nitrogen balance, indicating greater muscle breakdown.
  • Women showed a more significant reduction in subcutaneous fat layers, particularly from the limbs and hips, suggesting preferential fat mobilization.

    • Impact:

    • This study highlights significant sex-based differences in how the body responds to calorie restriction and weight loss.
    • Findings suggest that women may mobilize fat more effectively from specific depots compared to men, despite lower overall weight loss.
    • Results have implications for tailoring dietary interventions and exercise programs for men and women to optimize fat loss and preserve muscle mass.
