There was an interesting article on TOFI which i read a year ago. The acronym means "Thin on the Outside, Fat on the Inside" (CLEO, Dec 08). It was a good article. It made me think about my own body. Yep. People always say that i am thin. Sometimes, i dont take it as a compliment. I dont even bother about it sometimes. as long as i am happy with the way i am. But when a stranger told me that, it made me ponder. Which one is good, being slim or fat?
Well, i happened to reread the article again. There is a research concluded that having a slim body doesnt mean that you are not storing dangerous fat on the inside. Thus, the scientists have come out with the acronym "TOFI". Well, people said, we are what we eat. Some lucky people eat what they like and want but they do stay slim. However, they may not realise that they store some dangerous fats inside, which is called the internal fat.
I quote from the article "If you do less than two hours' aerobic exercise a week, then you may have too much internal fat. If you sit at a desk all day, for example, and you're barely moving, then although you look slim, you're at risk"
So, i do feel that i am at risk these few days. Because, i barely moving, walking. That freak me out!
Crash diet is not a good idea. Coz it causes starvation which may lead to more dangerous internal fat production. So, the best idea is to exercise. Do not restraint urself from eating what u want. What you have to do is exercise!
So. I promised myself, i'll exercise more. It's not about looking thin and slim but i want to be healthy..
