Even if you are not obese, the measurement of your waistline can determine your health even if your not obese. Its a condition called “central obesity” – a concentration of fat around the abdomen.
If your waistline is over 35 inches? It significantly increases the risk of an early death for women over 49, even when they have a normal BMI. Doctors right now use only the BMI to determine percentage of body fat. This is a wake up call to physicians. They shouldn’t be satisfied with just BMI, but to look at fat distribution and waist circumference.
There are hundreds of diets out there that promise a quick and easy way to get that flat stomach. But to lose those love handles the only way is to lose weight, no matter where on the body, is nutrition education, a supportive environment and personal motivation.
