According to a Japanese study that examined the link between body mass and personality, extrovert people are likely to be overweight while the anxious people tend to be thin. For this study, more than thirty thousand people of ages between 40 and 64 were questioned about their height and weight and given a personality test (Via The Daily Mail).

The study result show that extrovert were far more likely to have body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 as compared to the other one’s. People whose BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 are considered to have an ideal weight.

After controlling factors such as smoking, it was found that extrovert people have 1.73 times more chances of being obese as compared to their anxious counterparts. And extrovert women have 1.53 more chances of being obese.

According to the researchers here in US, people can lose weight with walking especially with pedometer if they go enough. People who are able to make a 20 to 40 minute of walking per day are able to lose small but steady amount of weight.

"The increase in physical activity can be expected to result in health benefits that are independent of weight loss," said Dr. Caroline Richardson, who led the study. "Increasing physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular problems, lowers blood pressure and helps dieters maintain lean muscle tissue when they are dieting."

Richardson’s team found that people in all studies lose some weight – about 0.1 pound per week on average. Over the year this weight loss will add up to 2.5 pounds and if one can change their eating habits that can add more pounds to this tally of 2.5 pounds.

In the study, people were able to add 2000 to 4000 steps per day and for an average person, 2000 steps counts to one mile.

Doctors Britain warned that chewing large amount of sugar free gums can cause severe weight and diarrhea. According to the German researchers, sorbitol which is a sweetener and used in sugar free gums can have laxative effects when eaten in large amounts.

Doctors issued this warning after finding two people who were chewing more than 20 sticks of sugar free gum per day faced diarrhoea, stomach pain and unintentional severe weight loss.

The first person was a 21 year old woman who lost more than 1 ½ stones in the last eight months and was underweight. The second person lost more than 3 ½ stones in a tear time and was suffering from severe diarroea.

Once both of these patients were put on a sorbitol free diet, their symptoms were gone and they were able to gain the lost weight.
