So for women, this is a multi-faceted answer that actually involves more questions. For women, that means a waist measurement that’s 35 inches or greater and for men 40 inches or greater. It is also great to ask these questions:
“Do you crave sugar and/or refined carbohydrates?”
“Has your doctor told you that your blood sugar’s a little high?”
“Do you have high levels of triglycerides over 100 or a low HDL?”
“Do you have heart disease?”
“Do you have high blood pressure?”
“Are you an inactive - less than 30 minutes of exercise four times a week?”
“Do you have trouble losing weight on a low fat diet?”
“Do you suffer from low sex drive and infertility or any sexual issues?”
“Did you have gestational diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome?”
These questions should be discussed with your doctor.
