January 29, 2008: Dr. Cheese and the Potato family – The tape measure rocks the house!; By The International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk [1:30 min.] [6MB]; One morning in the bathroom, Mrs. Potato, who has been eating well and exercising, is upset by her weight. However, she learns that she should measure her waistline—and not necessarily rely on the scale—to track her loss of intra-abdominal fat, the bad fat. She also learns that she did not lose weight because she in fact gained muscle.
