Do you know the definition of obesity? Most people don’t. For them, obesity goes no deeper than a less than fashionable look. But the truth says obesity is an epidemic, a disease spreading fast in our world, across both the industrialized world and emerging economies these days.

Then tell me what is obesity..

The definition of obesity is having too much energy that will become fat on your body. Obesity puts a strain on joints and bones that have to sustain more weight than ever before, which leads to arthritis in the long term. The weight also tends to make people lazier. It means more fat is put on your body.

Hey, if  you love eating high cholesterol, you must be careful. You know the example of high cholesterol foods. It is burgers, pizza, steak, etc. High cholesterol brought by eating too much of the high cholesterol food and if you lack of activity and will impair the proper functioning of your heart and blood vessels. I am certain this will caused high blood pressure, stroke and other blood and heart conditions on your body. Excess fat also leads cessation of breathing during sleep.

Of course, you can cure your obesity problem with effort and patience. As this diseases caused by obesity spreads over the land, so do the efforts for curing obesity increase. You can read my review about weight loss problem in my website later. Remember, you must have patience and effort. Without patience and effort, you will never change. Do not believe in quick weight loss products.

Body Mass Index and Obesity

Obesity, in scientific definition, is when your body mass index reach 30. Do you know what body mass index is? BMI (body mass index) is a measure of a person’s weight scaled according to height. This index serves to show the amount of fat stored on your body, and if your BMI is 30 or higher, the worst is your exposure to certain diseases.

Physicians also warn that having a lot of fat stored around your waist will increases the chances of developing diseases. Size 35 for women and 40 for men means only trouble for your body, at the present and in the future.

Unhealthy eating combined with sustained lack of activity can caused obesity. Food gives you more calories than you burn, so please be careful when you eating. Stay healthy

I think there are two reasons why people became obese. The first reason is they cannot control their own eating habits. The second reason is lack of activity. With neither the time, nor the inclination to control one’s meals, it is no wonder people get fat all over the world, everywhere. About lack of activity, it is different from the past where people walking or riding horse to go working. Unfortunately, these days most people using car for transportation. Those kind of people didn’t know how to lose weight, they only know working, looking for money, and when they arrived in their home, they eating high cholesterol foods.

Obesity can also be inherited from family members. If your family has a history of obesity, then you should watch your weight. But you can cut off obesity problem from your family tradition with your effort.

And how about fast foods, it is dangerous?

You maybe busy. I am busy. Everyone are busy with their own works. But you should not eat fast food put before you. Pizza, steaks, fried chickens, and burgers may look good for you, but they are fat too highly powered got your health. And I know that a single burger is worth a whole meal in calories, but your stomach, sadly,  never be filled by a regular burger, so it will keep asking for more burgers, and you will eat more burgers to satisfy your stomach despite the fact that your body does not need more burgers. I suggest you should stop eating fast foods. If you can’t, then you should follow my diet plans in my website.

I often received mails from fat people who spent half-one hour daily for exercises but they didn’t lose their weight. Many people try diets programs to lose a few pounds but when they finished their exercises, they feel hungry then they return to their old eating habits. It means that weight lost turns into weight regained. Then your body gets used to these lean times and it will harder for you to lose weight.
