Consulting The Stars Is The Latest Solution For Losing Weight

Those constantly struggling with the daily ups and downs on the bathroom scale can add a new reason to their repertoire of excuses for weight gain. Research by a number of astrologers cites our star sign may affect our ability to manage weight.

As silly as it may sound there is some valuable information to be gained from such a claim. Managing weight relies heavily on what we eat and how active we are regardless of our birth date. According to the stars Leo and Aries possess hearty appetites, which could result in weight problems. Aquarius and Pisces, both having a weakness for junk food, could put on a few extra pounds as well. Capricorns, according to star charts, have a fast metabolism which is a plus when it comes to burning off calories. The astrological breakdown of eating habits and food preferences can be useful as an informational guide in planning a diet suited to our particular taste buds.

How the Star Chart Can Be Useful

I'm not a Taurus, however, I share their admiration for potatoes, breads and noodles. As such, if Taurus would have difficulty following the Atkins diet because of their fondness for potatoes, breads and noodles so to would I. If hearty appetites are problematic to weight management for Leo and Aries the same would hold true for the millions of others with hearty appetites regardless of their star sign.

The real value to the astrologers' research is that it further proves what nutritionist and researchers have been saying for years - eating habits can cause fluctuations around the waist. It can be a tool for helping us to decide which foods we should cut back on or eliminate altogether. It can save from us having to endure the daily frustrations with choosing a diet plan destined for failure, as would be my situation if I embarked upon the Atkins diet where potatoes, bread, and noodles would sorely be missed.
