t's often dismissed as a cliche to motivate dieters. But it appears there may be some truth to the adage ‘a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips’. Once eaten, fat is stored on the waistline within hours, say scientists – far faster than previously thought.
In fact, a more accurate saying would be: ‘A moment on the lips, three hours later on the midriff.’ Within just three or four hours of having a meal, up to two or three teaspoons of fat have from the food have been stored there. Eat again shortly afterwards and the fat stores around the middle will grow and grow.
