Dealing with weight gain can seldom limit your clothing choices, and something similiar happened to college-going Sejal. In less than a year, she got to her results and became a fan of working out!
Chris Wauben says there was a day when he felt like the fabled frog in the pot of hot water: Leap or die. But in his version of the story, he had to change his diet or suffer dire consequences. He had ballooned to 200 pounds, was in constant pain from an inflamed gallbladder, and ultimately knew that if he didn t do something, he would spiral downwards. One night, when he was 38, he landed in the hospital in such excruciating pain the doctors told him they had to remove his gallbladder. He refused and promised himself he would change his diet.

A study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine suggests extremes of sleep can encourage visceral fat gain.
The findings suggest the causes of visceral fat extend beyond diet and inactivity.
We put a lot of stock in diet, said Kristen G Hairston, M.D., M.P.H., an assistant professor of endocrinology and metabolism and lead author on the study.

We may need to start looking at other behaviours - besides daily food choices - that could be contributing to the obesity epidemic in younger age groups.
