Men Lose Weight, Women Gain
Found an interesting post on Peace Corps Volunteers and weight loss from 2008. Apparently due to the heavy carbohydrate and meat diet, women tend to gain weight in Kazakhstan and men lose it. Some of that is because men process carbs better than women and some of it is because PCVs are more likely to be vegetarians than the average American and women are more likely to not eat meat than men. So a significant chunk of females are getting only carbs.
I guess the moral of the story is that if you’re a man coming to Kazakhstan you don’t need diet pills, but if you’re a woman start looking into adapexin-p.

It gives a new meaning to the phrase meat is murder a study of more than half a million Americans has found that consuming steaks hot dogs and other red and processed meats significantly increased participants chances of dying during the decade in which they were tracked…Women who consumed the most red meat – 66 grams 2.3 ounces per 1000 calories – were roughly 36 more likely to die than women who ate the least red meat – 9.1 grams 0.3 ounces . For men a similar difference in red meat consumption upped death rates by 31 …To put it the other way around the researchers say that 11 of deaths in men and 16 of deaths in women could be prevented if people who eat a lot of red meat cut their consumption… This is probably the biggest and most carefully done study on the relationship between diet and mortality that Ive seen says Barry Popkin an epidemiologist at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill who was not involved in the study…The study led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute NCI in Rockville Maryland followed about 545 000 men and women between the ages of 50 and 71. Between 1995 and 2005 47 976 men and 23 276 women participating in the study died.
