"The muscle South Asians do have is metabolically inferior. Researchers
took muscle biopsies of South Asians aft er exercise and compared
them to the muscle biopsies of age-matched and BMI-matched exer-
cisers of Caucasian heritage. South Asian muscles used energy less
eff ectively and burned fats less effi ciently—two key features of insu-
lin resistance..breakthroughs once they incorporate strength training."

• Abdominal fat is a major cause of infl ammation and chronic
disease in South Asians.
• Visceral fat is directly correlated to heart attack risk because it
releases chemicals that promote oxidation, infl ammation, and
coagulation.
• Sarcopenia (lack of muscle) is very common in South Asians
and may contribute to insulin resistance.
• Body weight and BMI are less accurate than waist-based mea-
surements (WC, WHR) when it comes to assessing risk for
heart disease and other conditions.
• A skinny-fat South Asian with a normal body weight and waist
measurement may still have abnormal metabolic markers.
• Reverse the dangerous combination of increased body fat and
reduced muscle by removing excess carbs and incorporating
strength training into your exercise program.
