What’s Making You Fat?
One last bag of chips, one last indulgence in pie, one last Friday night pizza party, one last piece of chocolate. Monday morning my diet starts. I will be good, I will eat healthy, I will exercise, and I will fit into my skinny jeans. How many Mondays have you started out with a new mantra of “I will be thin, I will be healthy?”
Unfortunately, this is a yo-yo cycle of dieting that too many women know only too well and can’t seem to stop. No matter what you do, you can’t seem to keep the weight where you want it. The good news is that it may not be all your fault. The
bad news is that no one is telling you how to stop the yo-yo dieting. Understanding the factors of weight gain will help you lose the weight forever.
First, know where you stand. Grab your tape measure. A woman with a waistline more than 35 inches may be faced with increased risks for health problems. This statistic comes from a study
done of over 100,000 men and women.
Over a 10 year period, those with a larger waist line were more likely to die from heart disease, cancer and respiratory disorders as those whose waists were slim. This was true with people whose body shape changed to a larger waist size but did not significantly gain weight.
Increased abdominal fat can lead to inflammation, higher cholesterol and insulin resistance and ultimately many other health problems.
