“Obesity in the U.S. is driving rising rates of diabetes and hypertension with stroke-causing conditions affecting almost 3 in 10 Americans. Excess weight increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions, according to the U. S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.” Bloomberg News, October 2008 Everywhere you look, people are talking about getting healthy, feeling better and looking great. Fad diets, extensive exercise programs, sugar free, fat free products are all around us and in the news.

The body naturally stores fat. The most common areas are the stomach, thighs and buttocks. These excess fat stores contain toxins that cause havoc with our immune system. Ultimately this can lead to heart disease, diabetes, loss of energy, depression and many other debilitating conditions.

Who has yo-yo dieted before, losing weight only to gain all or more of the weight back ? And the older we get the harder it was to lose the weight. So when I was yo yo dieting I am confident I was losing muscle mass along with fat and when I regained my 20/30 pounds I believe it was all fat.

So why is this important…The muscle I was losing is the fat burning furnace. This could account for why men lose weight quicker than women… they have a larger muscle mass than women… their fat burning furnace is larger.
