You are also wreaking havoc on your insulin sensitivity. Having nothing but a gut is a sure sign that you're on the road to diabetes.

Cut carbs from your diet completely for a while, eat more fat and more protein, do a bit of weights, and you will be back on the right track.
wow thanks
i never knew about the visceral fat thing and my dads side has a history of diabetes.. good looking out
