Worried about holiday weight gain? your scale isn't giving you the whole picture

(American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) 'Weighing patients or using blood tests to detect changes, hasn't, until now, given us accurate pictures, literally, of how different fat deposits are impacted disproportionately by diet and exercise,' says Prof. Iris Shai, the primary investigator of the CENTRAL MRI trial. 'These findings suggest that moderate exercise combined with a Mediterranean/low carb diet may help reduce the amount of some fat deposits even if you don't lose significant weight as part of the effort.'
