Stress is linked to heart disease,
high blood pressure and an increased risk of cancer. New research suggests
that it can also make you fat. For women, stressing out over unpaid bills,
problems at work, strained family relationships and feeling limited by
life's circumstances can lead to weight gain......Dr. Andrew Weil

From the Oprah Show with Dr. Oz:
One of the many health problems caused by this ugly organ (the omentum) is heart disease and heart attacks. The reason being- as the omentum grows; it creates an inflammatory process, which can irritate the arteries, putting you at greater risk for blocked arteries. When we talk about obesity being a risk factor for heart disease, we're actually wrong," says Dr. Oz. "It's not all obesity, because fat thighs don't give you a bad heart. [The omentum] does."
The omentum is also to blame for beer bellies. Some people tend to store their fat around their waists—giving them a beer belly or an "apple-like" shape. While others store fat around their hips, making them "pear"-shaped. Apple-shaped people are more at risk for heart disease than pear-shaped people.
Numbers to remember:
For women, your waist size should be about 32” (measuring at the belly button). For men, it should be about 35”
According to Dr. Oz, "If your waist size
is more than 35 inches and you're a woman—or 40 inches for men—you have
a major risk factor for heart attacks because this [omentum], instead of
being an inch thick, is now five inches thick, and you don't even see it."
Below is a list of 5 ingredients to avoid.
By
avoiding these ingredients, you will not only greatly improve your weight
loss success, but will shrink your omentum down to a normal size as well.
Dr. Roizen (from Oprah) says the only white ingredients you should have in your fridge are egg whites, cauliflower and fish.

From The
Menopause Diet by Dr. Larrian Gillespie
From an article on lowcarbeating.net:
"It's important to understand that your
metabolic tendencies are never cured. The fat you sent to kingdom come
by doing the Atkins Nutritional Approach™ was one symptom of a chronic
metabolic condition. You do and always will have a metabolic tendency to
be overweight. Any blood-sugar imbalance you have will not go away permanently
because you have taken a nutritional path that circumvents it. All you
have to do is go back to eating the way you once did, or even partially
so, and you will arouse the sleeping demon. In very short order, your pancreas
will once again secrete large quantities of insulin, and you'll suffer
the symptoms of unstable blood sugar—jitters, brain fog, afternoon fatigue
and the like. Then your insulin resistance will lead inevitably to the
production of more insulin and that, in turn, to weight gain if your carb
intake exceeds your tolerance. Clearly, you don't want to go there." --Atkins
