" A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when older woman regain weight that they previously lost, those pounds return as fat mass rather than muscle mass. Researchers studied 78 woman who in previous studies lost around 25 pounds. About a year later, when they were no longer on a weight-loss regime, researches composed all the data, and the results raised some concerns. Data showed that when woman regained weight, their body composition changed with it. In fact, one-third of the weight regained was fat. Barbara Nicklas, Ph.D., a gerontologist at the J. Paul Sticht Center on Aging and Rehabilitation at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C said that there is a possibility that a higher proportion of fat with the regained weight may simply reflect normal aging. The thing to be concerned with is that post menopausal women already experience hormonal changes and loss of bone density, so losing muscle mass, and worse, replacing it with fat, is especially concerning. Serious dieting seems to have gained a new perspective; try to make changes for a healthier lifestyle and no more yo-yo dieting! - Jennifer Fiorentino, WomansDay.com Intern  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
