Yo-yo dieting could actually be better for you than no dieting according to new research.
Previously health researchers suggested that yo-yo diets could be bad for us. Scientists at the Ohio state university now suggest that a fluctuating (not flatulating) body mass might be better than remaining obese.
Mice placed on alternating high and low fat diets lived 25% longer than the ones just on a high fat diet. The glucose levels in the blood of the alternating diet mice was also better than those constantly on high fat diets.
Study leader doctor Edward List said "The new research shows that the simple act of gaining and losing weight does not seem detrimental to life span." he went on to say "The study adds to our understanding of the benefit of losing weight. I would hope that this encourages people not to give up".
So there we have it people, stick to it even if you slip, just get back up and try again.
...I couldn't find a positive link to the bottle of rum, but I'm sure it's coming.
originals abound, this is my favourite for the before and after shots :)
