Observe Fat Loss Knowledge Now

By Annie S Russell

Many folks want to drop weight these days. Obesity and being overweight has reached outbreak proportions. There are many visual reasons why people want to lose weight as they want to look good and fit into their jeans but the most significant motivation to lose weight is for health reasons.

Every body carries their fat stores a little in a different way. One individual may have large thighs and a huge butt but a somewhat lesser upper body and the next person will hold it in the middle in the abdominal section. If you carry your fat in your butt and thighs your body is shaped more like a pear. If you carry your fat in your abdominal section your body is shaped more like an apple. The way that you carry your fat significantly affects your health.

If you are shaped like a pear you have a important health benefit over the people who are shaped like an apple. You may have more tribulations in getting clothes that fit and you may have body image issues but your health is not really too much as risk. Contrary to that the people who carry their fat in their bellies are at possibility for grave health problems.

Apple shaped women, who carry the surplus weight in their abs and middle are at elevated hazard for heart disease, diabetes and other health problems. The dilemma is that the fat accumulates around the inside organs and prevents their bodies from working as well as possible. A pear-shaped female does not have this problem because of course their are no inner organs in our butts and thighs!

To find out is you are an apple-shape or a pear-shape you will need to figure the ratio of your waist to hips. Divide your waist measurement in inches by your hip measurement in inches. If the resulting ratio is 0.8 or more you are shaped like an apple, but if it is more than 0.8 or less then you are shaped like a pear. An case in point would be a 28-inch waist divided by a 38-inch hip gives a ratio of 0.73 or a pear-shape while that same hip measurement combined with a 32-inch waist is a 0.84 or an apple shape.

A pear may have body image issues and she may resist with her body type but she is not really facing critical health risks, which is not the case for an apple-shaped individual. If you are apple-shaped it is much more critical that you drop the weight. Try increasing your cardio exercises and concentrate on consuming a fiber-rich diet with more fruits, vegetables, beans and legumes and lean protein sources such as fish and skinless chicken.

If you are an apple shape however, you do have an advantage in the weight loss department. Spare fat around your middle area tends to come off much quicker and easier than the fat in the butt and thighs. Butt and thigh fat is much more persistent and it takes much more determination to get it to finally come off.

The type of body that you have is not something that you can control but you can do whatever is needed to lose the excess fat or even better, of course, is to not gain it in the first place.
