Recently learned about "TOFI", this is the state of a person who appears to be of normal weight but is actually carrying excessive fat around the organs inside the body. Thus we have, what medical professionals, refer to as Thin Outside - Fat Inside or "TOFI".
I have known for years that i felt uncomfortable with my size. As you can tell, i thought this was because my present weight had surpassed my top 9 month pregnancy weight, now beginning to understand more about inflammation, food choices and internal fatty liver disease. But how do we, as a society fight this?
We can all absolutely forget about thinking that what most people eat is personal choice. The profit “at any cost” corporate culture inundates the airwaves with commercials and advertisements creating a climate for overconsumption of unhealthy foods.
So many, many people suffer from inflammation, obesity and diabetes…expect this problem to increase. Providing information and education about making healthy choices so far, has had little if any long-term impact on this major health issue.
What is the answer, can we help one another? Do we even have enough motivation to want to change.
