What is a obesity?

The body mass index or bmi is the accepted standard measure of obesity and weight. The bmi is represented by kilograms per meter squared.

Being underweight has a bmi of less than a normal bmi is 18.5 to 24.9, overweight 25 to 29.9 and obesity is greater than 30 kg. meter squared which is then further divided into three different classes.

Another measurement of obesity is waist circumference which takes into account central auto adiposity and really has a better correlation to cardiovascular disease.

Obesity is defined when the waist circumference in men is greater than 102 centimeters or greater than 40 inches, in women greater than 85 centimeters or 35 inches. The waist circumference is measured at the level of the iliac crest.

Obesity is complex and the pathophysiology involves genetics and behavioral habits. There is energy intake versus energy expenditure as well as changes in the neuroendocrine pathways. But to put it simply really obesity occurs when you have increased energy intake but reduced expenditure and so all this accumulation of energy just goes into fat deposits around the body.

How Obesity affects our health?

Obesity is defined as excess fat with many associated comorbidities. It is associated with a significant increase in mortality including a reduced life expectancy of up to 10 years. A billion people worldwide are living with obesity it's clear there's a lot that as a society we have to learn about our body's own weight management system that's right 200 illnesses can occur as the result of increased body weight diabetes hypertension high cholesterol sleep apnea knee arthritis and the list goes on and on.

Some effective ways to get rid of this problem.

If I can't lose weight despite trying is it my fault ? No never.

Is exercise likely to lead to weight loss exercise? Rarely causes weight loss, can gain weight trick my body into gaining even more weight.

Do these new weight loss drugs absolutely work if I am using a weight loss drug can I eat whatever I want? No.

I understand the counterargument that you can lose muscle mass in the process of losing weight and then when you gain back weight you may gain more fat mass initially than gaining muscle mass if you look at it over very long periods of time.

Basically the same muscle came back and it was equivalent so over time these factors re-equilibrated but fat could come back faster.
