Waist management

I know we are all obsessed about weight. If you make weight the focus of your plan, you may not get the whole picture. I have clients that find themselves fitting better in their clothes without budging a pound on the scale.

Here’s what I suggest. Get on a waist management program instead of a weight management program. Focus on losing inches instead of pounds. Your waist girth is a more important predictor of mortality related to being overweight. (See Sept 22nd post)

Take a tape measure and record your waist girth at the belly button. Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor. The ideal waist for a man is 35 or less. And it starts to be dangerous for your health when you reach 40 inches.
