Overweight and obesity are nothing that the excessive accumulation of fat body, generally useless and difficult mobilization. Show Overweight/obesity who has more weight than expected for their size (Ideal body weight, body mass index), the distinction between overweight and obesity is to classify the severity of excessive accumulation of fat. Overweight is not considered when there is one greater than expected weight in a very muscular person.

Why fattening people?

Don't be fooled: If you grow is because you're eating more and it is accumulating fat, there's no other explanation!

The basis of obesity is, therefore, a defect in the control of satiety (multifactorial effect with certain hereditary components), lack of willpower to deal with the immediate desire to eat (certain foods addictive effect) and follow a plan disciplined long-term to lose and keep the weight. The truth is that, despite all the predisposing factors, if the person is installed in a context of low caloric availability, the only possible outcome will be body weight loss and maintenance of the new acquired weight as long as it remains the caloric deprivation.

Considering all available therapies we can say that weight loss in 1 year range from 5 to 30% of initial body weight. The bad news is that in a few weeks can recover lost weight if it is abandoned or violent the indicated treatment.

Body fat is the form of deposit of excess calories once fulfilled the demands full and immediate deposits at short notice (carbs in muscles and liver). In the absence of heart or kidney, diseases that are accumulating fluid in the tissues, all the women and men that increase weight do so because they accumulate fat – eating thing regarding your caloric expenditure diary – account, no other. If you don't agree with this, because you have other theories, I'm sorry, but this is the case.

We are fat because we are fortunate to have available, in excess, and available calories without much effort: before we had to hunt our dinner, now only open the fridge and we sat down to watch TV with something oily or deliciously sweet, full of calories. Clear, unfortunately, not everyone has that luck and worldwide are hungry and caloric deficiencies that explain the images of that malnourished people from anywhere in the world, especially in African desert air, where it or water it there! If people gain alone, "but is that I do not like anything," then these poor people would not be in the bone and waiting to be devoured by vultures before giving a last breath after a secular starvation. In addition, if we do nothing exercise and maintaining a sedentary lifestyle… Enough to see the results.

Is obesity a disease? Obese people are potentially ill and addicted as you may be an alcoholic or a drug addict and therefore require our attention and our best efforts to help them find a solution suitable for your problem. It is a chronic disease (obesity, a manifesto. Interesting article in English). The common factors in all of them are an inherited susceptibility (factor genetic, contributes 40% of the problem) to the appropriate place and time (environmental factor), the pleasure obtained by eating although aware of the damage caused by overeating, believe have total control over your Vice "when you want to leave it", leaving later will his Vice starting again "only a little from time to time" and that do not exceed as before. They arrive at a point where they live constantly under a dominant sense of guilt when they realize that actually there is a problem that was not so easy to control or when her life or health are severely affected. It is time to act!

So one wonders: is it because of the person to be fat? Essentially Yes, nobody forced you under the penalty of death to overeat and you are the sole owner of your destination. Just a life, take it to the Max!

Genetic susceptibility (40%) is necessary but insufficient to produce the disease therefore there is an uncontrollable obesity component and an environmental component that if it (60%), on the latter is that we can work to give the affected person the hope of cure.

Fatness and the overeating are socially better accepted that certain vices rather more ugly, but not exempt from severe health problems and loss of social acceptance in the long run. It is a reality, many people bother you fat people, not only for banal reasons aesthetic, and the image of lack of control and discipline, but because they represent a technical problem in an aircraft, a vehicle, a bus, an operating room… for people that has that help them, or worse still, uploading them… People can become very unpleasant and exclusive, even openly express aggression against an overweight person. In fact, the person who suffers overweight or obesity, in many cases, fails to get the high-level job or partner that could potentially be achieved thanks to their personal, professional and emotional attributes. A U.S. study suggests this statistic (Paul Ernsberger, professor of nutrition, Case Western Reserve University): women with more than 30 kilos above his ideal produce 9% less money compared with women with appropriate weights, 20% less than chance of getting married and up to 50% less chance of attending college
