Dieting the scientific way 4

Be plump and proud 

But is being  overweight necessarily unhealthy  in all cases ?A groundbreaking study published in The Lancet in 2007 found that about 30% of people classed as obese (ie ,with a body mass index -- BMI--of 30 or more)were actually metabolically very healthy,with low cholesterol ,blood pressure and blood sugar.They were also responsive to insulin - which isn't supposed to be true about fatter people.

A THIRD OF OBESE
PEOPLE MAY NOT NEED
TO LOSE WEIGHT 

In short,one in three of those being endlessly cajoled to lose weight may not need to. It may,in fact,be actively harmful.Canadian researchers from the University of Montreal compared the effect of a low-calorie diet on a group of metabolically   healthy obese people with a group who were obese and at risk. They found insulin resistance ( a market for diabetes) improved by 26 % in the at-risk group but it got 13% worse among the metabolically healthy. So even if your BMI is officially dangerously high but you eat pretty well,take regular exercise and feel fine, then have your metabolic markers checked out :if they are healthy ,then maybe just enjoy your extra kilos!
