My experience with my male friends has certainly lead me to believe it is a truth and not a myth. Maybe it has something to do with men having more muscle mass, muscles burn more calories. I have male friends that just 'cut out beer for a month' and lost more than I can lose in a year. I joined WW once with a good friend (male). He would 'cheat', I'd stick to my points, we'd go weigh in and HE would lose 2-3 lbs and I'd gain or only lose .1 or .2 --so discouraging. We stopped going together...LOL

Pass that LC popcorn recipe my way.....oh man do I love it!
