Fighting the Fat

Christmas is a distant memory and Easter is just around the corner. The pounds that seem to appear like magic during the winter season don’t go away as easily as they came. Someone once said: “A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”.

This doesn’t have to be! There are lots of measures that you can take to get rid of all that extra weight, and, you’ll be able to wear those jeans that have been hiding in the wardrobe for the last two years! It’s not unusual to gain weight between November and February. But even a few kilos overweight can increase the risk of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

In some cases overweight is caused by the combination of genetic, environmental and metabolic factors. In most other cases it is caused by eating the wrong foods and a simple lack of exercise. Weight loss, gain and control are so complex that a large number of products available as wonder diets offering immediate weight loss are, more or less, ineffective. The only effective way of losing and maintaining weight is a healthy balanced diet combined with an exercise programme. 03/08
