Re: Japanese government mandates waist size

I say BRAVO!!! The news is the waist is what is so important not so much your weight. Take your height and divide that in half and that is what your waist should be. So I am 66 inches so my waist must be 33 inches or less. If you watch Oprah and saw Dr. oz he explains about the omentum on top of the stomach and this is what is causing so many health related problems. So a woman who has a large waist say over 35 inches is the same as a woman with cancer.

As the Japanese ways are extreme, the majority of people do not have the will power. I did not until the doctor told me I was going to get cancer or MS in the near future so I slimmed down thru fear. OK lost the weight, got my waist down to 27 inches, got my cholesterol and triclycerides in check, got rid of candida, the list goes on and on. All thru fear so is it so bad or is it so very good. Just my opinion!
