More Calories in and fewer Calories out can result in weight gain! But only in men.
Being less active and eating more food has led to the average UK male weighing over a stone more in 2000 than he did in 1986, reflecting a rising trend in obesity rates.More research will apparently be needed to determine how women get to be overweight/obese.
This was the conclusion of a British Heart Foundation-funded study led by Dr Peter Scarborough of the Department of Public Health at Oxford University and published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
It reflects a rising trend in obesity rates: 25 per cent of men in England were classed as obese in 2008, compared with only 7 per cent in 1986/87.
A BHF representative described the finding as a "ticking time bomb".
Bigger men are at higher risk of heart disease and other chronic illnesses.
