Deadly Thighs

Exercise, Lifestyle

If you have a bit of junk in the trunk (belly fat), don't worry — that lower body fat might help protect you from metabolic disease, Oxford University researchers found, because fat in the thighs and buttocks may have a protective effect. A Danish study even found that people with thin thighs have a greater risk of premature death. Maybe it's better to have "thunder thighs" then thin "deadly thighs"!

Cheating can be good!

Diet

What if we told you that you could cheat, guilt-free, and it would actually be good for you? No, not the cheating in exams or love. We mean cheating on your diet, and chalking up some surprising benefits. On a weight loss diet, dietary cheaters invariably are successful. That happens because in response to a low calorie diet, the body slows downs the metabolism and burn less energy which is counterproductive to what you are trying to achieve. A cheat meal with extra calories helps to give a kick to the slowing down metabolism. Therefore it helps to not only ward off feeling of deprivation but keeps you on track with your dietary regimen. But be cautioned, don't go overboard and keep the cheat meals to just once a week!

Curb the Cravings

Diet, Lifestyle

Research shows that protein in the morning makes it difficult for sugar cravings to take hold later on. Lean protein options like eggs, yogurt, peanut butter, and low-fat cheese produce less of the hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin and more PPY, a hormone that signals fullness. MRI scans of high-protein breakfast eaters in a University of Missouri study showed reduced activity in areas of the brain associated with cravings. Can’t stomach food too early in the morning? No problem. Eat it by 10 AM and you’ll still help quell that late-day sugar rush.

Killer Figure

Lifestyle

A recent research suggests normal-weight people who carry their fat at their waistlines may be at higher risk of death over the years than overweight or obese people whose fat is more concentrated on the hips and thighs. "If the waist is larger than your hips, you're at increased risk for disease," said Dr. Samuel Klein, an obesity specialist at Washington University School of Medicine at St. Louis. Abdominal fat — the main cause of an apple-shaped figure — has long been considered more worrisome than fat that settles on the hips and below, which marks the so-called pear shape. Risk increases for men if their waist circumference is larger than 40 inches, and 35 inches for women. So its time to loose that belly by adopting a healthier diet as well…
