The most daunting part of monitoring your weight is that you always tend to put on faster than you lose. Endless journeys on the treadmill have taken you nowhere, in every sense.
Is it your fault, or were you really at the back of the queue to the 'lean and agile counter' before coming into this world? A lifestyle of poor activity, stress, work and calories compromises people's health, and appearance.
The warmer season brings along the truth. Your abdomen is looking more like the cheese board than the washboard. You need to lose a bit of the girth you put on over the year.
There are health benefits that have to be considered as well. Weight loss is accompanied by improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels and reduced risks associated with diabetes.
Following a structured diet and exercise plan is the basis of managing this problem. Local figures are on the higher risk side, especially because of a high risk of diabetes among Maltese patients.
