Title: Fat Around The Middle: How To Lose That Bulge - For Good: Description:
If you are one of the many women who are 'apple shaped' or fat around the middle then you have probably tried everything from fad diets to 'bums and tums' classes to combat the problem. Tummy fat is hard to shift, unless you understand why your body decides to store fat on your waist. This ground-breaking book reveals - for the very first time - the secret of why fat builds up around your middle and gives you a practical action plan showing how you can get rid of it once and for all. Inside you will discover: why you are fat around the middle (and no it's not just about what you are eating); how to stop the stress hormones, adrenalin and cortisol, from storing fat around your waist; vitamins and minerals you can take to change your body shape faster; foods to eat - and foods to avoid - for a trim tummy; specific exercises to get rid of that spare tyre; breakthrough genetic tests that can tell you which foods and supplements work best for you; and how changing your body shape can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Dr Marilyn Glenville gives you all the tools you need to lose that fat around the middle - for good. From the Publisher In her groundbreaking new book Fat Around the Middle Marilyn draws on the latest clinical research to show that the stress hormone, cortisol, instructs the body to store fat on our stomachs to provide energy for the ‘fight or flight’ response to danger. But in today’s world stress almost invariably comes in a form that doesn’t require this physical reaction: if you’re fuming in a traffic jam or fielding work deadlines at your desk, the stored fat isn’t used for fighting or fleeing – and it stays around your waist. Marilyn has devised a three-month lifestyle plan to help you lose that bulge for good. Encompassing diet, exercise, supplements, relaxation tips and more, her easy-to-follow action plan is tailored to the individual needs of the reader. The lucky few to have had a sneak preview have seen incredible results – not only in weight, but also in those all-important inches around the waist.
