'skinny-fat' and pre-diabetes
Posted Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 1:18 PM
My dad is diabetic, so I am not surprised, but I am worried what to do now.
I had a doctor's check up and blood tests recently. Results are I'm pre-diabetic. My parents are surprised because well, if i'm a young-adult female, how could that happen? But the doctors mentioned 'skinny fat.' Like on the outside: a person will look thin, but inside, and especially the abdomen, you carry fat. (and that is true for me! just don't look at my stomach! lol)
Thoughts? Do I need to change a ton of things or is it as simple as avoid processed sugar, and get my carbohydrates through whole grains?
Maybe, it would have happened sooner or later =( Given my preference for sweet. My parents being from India, well my dad eats far too much white rice so it's not surprising. Indians tend to over-do the white rice.
