🌸 Introduction Weight loss isn’t about eating less — it’s about understanding your body better. For women, fat burning is deeply influenced by hormones, sleep, stress, and cycle — not just diet and exercise. If you’ve been trying to lose belly fat with no success, this blog is for you. 🔥 Why Women Burn Fat Differently Unlike men, women have: Higher estrogen, which affects how fat is stored and burned Slower resting metabolism Monthly hormonal fluctuations (especially during PMS or ovulation) More likelihood of thyroid, insulin, or PCOS-related weight retention 🧪 Root Causes That May Block Fat Loss in Women: 1.

PCOS 💡 Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is not just a hormonal issue — it's a lifestyle-linked, multi-system condition that affects nearly 1 in 5 women in India.
