Last year, Dutch researchers claimed people were able to wipe out the dangers of obesity if they were active for at least four hours a day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Dr Stamatina Iliodromiti, clinical lecturer in obstetrics and gynaecology at Glasgow University, dismissed such studies as being too focused on BMI alone.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels link-bogr1 linkro-ccox\">\n<li>\n<p>  <span>Do YOU think this living room&#8217;s messy?

Heart attack and stroke danger also increased in line with waistline. Starting from size 12 (29in waist), a woman\u2019s CVD risk soared 16 per cent for every two dress sizes up. And men saw the danger jump 10 per cent for every 4.5in they piled on their waistlines above the 32in mark.<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-468406d0fe64b935\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"419\" width=\"306\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-468406d0fe64b935\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/newpix\/2018\/03\/16\/00\/4A3C460600000578-5507833-image-a-7_1521161450107.jpg\" height=\"419\" width=\"306\" alt=\"\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Other measures of obesity, including waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratios and body fat mass, showed similar patterns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The UK is the fattest nation in western Europe, with two-thirds of adults classed as overweight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dr Iliodromiti suggested the research, published in the European Heart Journal, should put an end to the \u2018fat but fit\u2019 debate. She said: \u2018This is the largest study that provides evidence against the obesity paradox in healthy people. The message is that if you\u2019re obese or overweight, losing some definitely lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Professor Sir Nilesh Samani, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, which part-funded the study, agreed \u2013 saying the findings proved there was \u2018no such thing as healthy obesity\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mol-factbox-title\">Drink a coffee to fight off snack cravings\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Dieters\u00a0struggling to resist cravings for crisps and chocolate should drink a cup of coffee instead, research suggests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Just as illegal cannabis is known to give users the \u2018munchies\u2019 \u2013 where they are irresistibly drawn to snacks \u2013 coffee can have the reverse effect, scientists found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The findings, by Northwestern University in the US, support previous evidence that those drinking two cups of daily coffee after a diet are better able to keep weight off. The study, published in the Journal of Internal Medicine, measured hundreds of biological signs in the blood of 47 coffee drinkers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It found compounds produced by the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system \u2013 also responsible for the \u2018high\u2019 people get from smoking cannabis \u2013 fell the more coffee people drank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This suggests that not only can coffee speed up the metabolism, helping us burn fat quicker, it also makes us less hungry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v3\/us\/health\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share-icons\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <span class=\"wocc bdrcc\"> There&#8217;s no way this puppy is going to let sleeping hogs&#8230; <\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <span class=\"wocc bdrcc\"> Revealed: British former husband of Russian secret agent&#8230; <\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <span class=\"wocc bdrcc\"> Millennials ditch engagement rings and instead pay $100&#8230; <\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <span class=\"wocc bdrcc\"> Baby girl reacts with wide-eyed amazement as she hears&#8230; <\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <span class=\"wocc bdrcc\"> Time\u2019s Up for James Bond?
