Keep focusing on waist reduction. @Daniel 1. Overweight only means one things and that that is having a BMI greater than 24.9. 2. If you are big, lean, and muscular then you are at a healthy weight. You may not be healthy, but the reason for your bad health is not your body fat. @Mr. Meltdown I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Keep focusing on waist reduction.

Even if you are big, lean, and muscular...you can still be overweight and not necessarily healthy. Overweight can mean a bunch of things.

I found it very interesting that you said "instead of focusing on weight reduction, we should be focusing on waist reduction." I think so many obese people like myself on a weight loss journey get lost in the scales. I recently read your article on visceral fat and found that through your knowledge and excellent teaching it is more important to concern myself with my belly fat. So now I am more focused on reduction than the numbers on the scale. I think if I am more focused on reducing my abdominal size then the numbers will follow. It is kind of like the saying "if you build it they will come." Now I say if you do it you will lose it! Excellent post! Hi John and Dr. Kal,

Slow and steady wins the race. If you consider permanent weight loss a race. @Greg - Exactly. Insulin Resistance, the Metabolic Syndrome, Pre-Diabetes, and Syndrome X are all terrible. Visceral fat contributes to all of them. @Hanlie – Thanks

Visceral fat is the root of all evil. Well not exactly but it's a very very bad thing. It's called Syndrome X as well as Central Obesity. You can have a firm abdominal wall to the touch and still be obese as long as all the fat is on the inside of your abdominal muscles. It is a lot more dangerous than subcutaneous fat just under the skin. Your simple calculation method gives a clear cut measurement to confirm it. Cool! Great and simple method!

Instead they should be focusing on lowering there body fat percentage by losing fat. Probably the most well known weight loss program on the internet, which has made the author millions. Promotes rapid weight loss, but that's what the majority of people want and in my eyes will always want. People need to become educated that rapid weight loss is not the way to do it. Good and informative article as always Dr Kal Your exactly right, most people will gauge there success on how many pounds they lose each week.
