Fat Around the Middle

If you’re apple rather than pear shaped, with a tendency to gather fat around your waist, you’ll know how difficult it is to keep slim.

What you may not know is how dangerous the fat around your middle really is (more so than fat on your thighs or bottom), increasing your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

Because of where the fat sits on your body, normal diets, even rigorous exercise regimes rarely work.
