I’m Carrying Lunch On my Hips

Agh yes…the old saying – “I just have to look at donut and it goes straight ot my hip”

Well here’s a blog post that asks us to look at weight gain in a different light.

Here’s a different way to look at all the extra fat you’re carrying around. See, your body stores any extra calories you eat as fat, right? Your body thinks, “Hey, it might be awhile before we get some food, so let’s stash away all this extra energy.”

So, for every 3500 extra calories you eat, your body gains 1lb of fat.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument (and easier calculations!) that an average, healthy meal is 500 calories (normal portion consisting of protein, carbs and some fat).

That would make 1lb of extra fat the equivalent of SEVEN meals!
