Love-handles that keep us healthy

Great news for all of us who seem to collect a bit around the hips! According to a recent research study in Cell Metabolism, a type of fat that accumulates around the hips and bottom may actually offer some protection against diabetes.

pearResearchers have long known that fat that collects in the abdomen, which is also known as visceral fat, can raise a person’s risk of diabetes and heart disease, while people with pear-shaped bodies, with fat deposits in the buttocks and hips, are less prone to these disorders.

Now it turns out that subcutaneous fat, fat found just under the skin, may be actively protecting people from metabolic disease. So as you don your bathing suit this summer, take some pride in knowing that your bit of extra pudge around your bum and hips is actually working for your health. That is news I can celebrate!

  • “The customer service at e-diets is horrible. The representatives are not ver polite and they sure don’t make you feel like a valued customer. I am said to say it, but I had to cancel my account with them. The food is really good, but the deliver reprocess is a nightmare. The food does not arrive on the dates that it should. As of today I am waiting on my final deliver that has been in transit for 4 days. Do I really want to eat food that has been in a box for 4 days??? NOOOO. So I had to cancel and the customer service rep didn’t apologize or even seemed like he cared.”

  • “What happened to Amy? I really think she voted for Coleen because she is too scared of the blue team. If only she could have talked to her mom once again and to be told again “be true to yourself” This show was my one and only fave, but not anymore. I,d sooner watch Jerry Springer than these 2 that are left on, so this will be my last season I will be watching this show, and if my fave people go, Michelle and Rennee, and Amy then I don,t give a care who wins. Why the hell would they bring back Ed is beyond me, and now Heba can be a bigger than she was before with his support. Vicky, you need to lose your bad mouth along with a ton of weight,.”

  • “after u stop the program is it easy to gain it all back. I lost 18 lbs n am satisfied but now I kinda eat a little more than I was when I was full force doing ww. I still will not eat n e thing fried and still have the tendency to count and figure point values. Is this a bad thing. Should u be worried about gaining the weight back? Thanx to anyone who can help me with this”

  • “Amy, I hoping you shock everyone by winning the entire thing. Like many women, they tend to put themselve last. You’re doing the right thing by making “YOU” the most important element in your decisions. You were right to vote off Vickis husband. You need to focus on removing your threats and those that don’t deserve this opportunity. You’re a bigger (not literally) person than I. After Vicki call you those names you should have got her out. I’m sure theres things we don’t see on TV but Vicki and Heba seem to these they are the roosters in the hen house and they’re just mean. Keep in mind these videos will never go away, and thanks to the internet Vickis kids will see these, I wonder what kind of role model she wants to be for her kids. You keep going and take care of yourself. You’re mom was right, this is your time. GO, GO, Go. God bless.”
