UNCOMFORTABLY SNUG-FITTING clothes have always been a good indicator for me, and for most of us, that it’s time to shed that surplus half stone.
My main MOTIVATION, however, recently came from hearing mounting research from health experts showing the RISKS OF BELLY FAT. There’s a body of evidence that confirms while losing excess weight all over is important, it’s trimming those inches from our waists that brings the biggest health gains. By focusing on our tums, we can LOWER OUR RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES, cancer and heart disease.
