Black Women Burn Fewer Calories
A recent study on exercise suggests that you may be wasting your time at the gym. Researchers found that exercise is less likely to lead to weight loss for black women than for white women.
The study, which focused on adolescent girls, found that,
“85% of the black girls who engaged in moderate levels of exercise at 12 years old were as likely to be obese by the time they reached 14 as were those who hardly exercised at all.
For white girls, the results were almost exactly reversed, with only 14% likely to become obese by age 14.”
