A Note from Dr. Nic...
Are You Doing Sit-ups to Get a Six-Pack?
Many people have weight
management issues, not only
the overweight or obese. In
many cases, it's the way their
excess weight is distributed
that bothers them. Some
people have body proportions
in which their upper body is of
normal weight, but they store
excess fat in their hips and
thighs. Or they have thin arms and legs, but sport a "pot
belly." It would be wonderful if we could target weight loss
to these particular areas, but is such a thing actually
possible?
For the most part, targeted weight loss is a myth. A wide
array of fitness programs and exercise machines claim to
be able to target certain areas, such as giving you six-pack
abs in place of your jelly belly. However, science shows
that targeting exercise to the area you would like to slim
down is mostly ineffective. In fact, too much exercise may
interfere with your ability to lose weight at all. Some
people's metabolism will go into calorie conservation mode
when exercising vigorously for a long period of time, in an
attempt to conserve resources. Those stomach crunches
are good for strengthening and toning your abdominal
muscles under the fat, but it will not reduce the amount of
fat in the belly area.
A recent study assessed the amount of subcutaneous fat in
the arms of 104 participants before and after a 12-week
resistance training program. Their non-dominant arm was
selectively exercised during the study, and at the end of
12 weeks, the fat lost was found to have occurred equally
throughout the body rather than being concentrated
around the trained arm. Because of the way that stored fat
is chemically mobilized, the energy that comes from our
fat is released from fat cells that are located throughout
the body. However, even though fat is burned equally from
all parts of the body, certain factors influence where that
fat is stored in the first place.
Genetics do play a role in whether you will store fat in your
thighs, in your bell,y or elsewhere. For example, in most
cases where people are pear-shaped (fat stored in hips,
thighs and buttocks), it is likely due to genetic factors. Fat
that is stored primarily in the abdominal region is most
often due to stress. A Yale study found that even naturally
slim women were likely to have belly fat if they were
stressed on a regular basis. Stress activates the hormone
cortisol, which has more receptors in abdominal fat than in
the fat in other areas of the body. So if that is your
2
problem area, aim to reduce stress levels. Meditation,
yoga, and light exercise are good stress reducers and may
positively affect your waistline. In addition to that, keep in
mind that the food that you eat can cause increased
inflammation and stress and result in the same cortisol
elevation.
Your best bet to reduce fat in problem areas is to eat a
balanced diet that stresses whole, unrefined foods that will
moderate your blood sugar so that fewer calories are
stored as fat. Remember-"Nutrient Dense Foods, NOT
Calorie Dense Foods!"
And if you exercise moderately on a regular basis, your
target areas will slowly begin to slim down. What heart
rate level you exercise at can play part as well. If you'd
like more information, just give me a call (920 894 2399)
or email ([email protected]), and we can talk
about an exercise routine that would work for you!

Inside the Teenage Brain
I'd like to start this article by
saying the following:
Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry for running over that
mailbox with my car at 3:30
a.m. and then lying about it.
I'm also sorry for staying out
past my curfew and scaring
you several times. I'm also
sorry for telling you on countless occasions, "Don't worry!
I'll be fine!" without realizing that I was a teenager, and
therefore, pretty much incapable of not taking risks and
driving you crazy. But, now that I have children of my
own, you can look forward to me being put through all the
same anxiety that I put you through. You know what they
say about "payback"...and Estelle is a 17 month old going
on 17 years."
There, I feel better.

If you have ever wondered why the teenage years are so
difficult for parents (and often the teens themselves), you
need look no further than their brain. The brain undergoes
rapid and profound development during the teen yearsmuch more so than during most of childhood. It is a time
when the areas of the brain involved in the calculation of
risk, rewards, and decision making go through increasingly
major changes. This may explain why late adolescence
(between ages 15 and 19) has a six times greater
mortality rate than late childhood and early adolescence
(between ages 10 and 14).
Research conducted by scientists using magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) from early childhood through
adulthood has mapped the many changes that the
developing brain makes as it matures. They have found
that the brain continues to develop into a person's early
20s, with the frontal lobes that are responsible for
reasoning and problem-solving being developed last. (Ellie
thinks my frontal lobe is still developing.)

Being a Great Fitness Buddy
There are many different
reasons to exercise. I don't
really care why you exercise...I
just want you to get out there
and move around! Personally, I
find exercising to be a way to
get rid of stress. It's a way to
work toward achieving
something. It's a project.
Others simply want to look
better in a swimming suit. Or
keep up with their children. No
matter the reason, I hope to help people get in better
shape and stay healthier. One way to do that is to have
someone to exercise with you and motivate you...sharing
in the occasional misery, but also in the accomplishments.
As someone who does about 99% of my running alone, I
look forward to opportunities to run with other people. I
just received an email from a patient who wants to go trail
running, so we are meeting this weekend. If I can be an
enabler (in a good way), I most certainly will!
Studies have shown that one of the best ways to stick to
your fitness regime is to have a reliable fitness partner.
Being a fitness buddy means that someone else is counting
on you to make them accountable for their workout, keep
them inspired, and ensure that they are not alone in their
quest for fitness. To be a great fitness buddy you just need
to keep a few basic guidelines in mind:
