Obty and/or excess weight results when there is an imbala
between energy intake and energy exp
iture. In other words, you consume more calor
than you exp
in normal daily
ivit
. Ob
ty is an excess of body fat, fr
ently resulting in a significant impairment of health. Excess fat accumula
n is associated with an incr
e in the size of the fat cells; and in individuals su
ring from extreme
sity, the fat cell numbers also incr
e. In the last few decades there has been an incr
e in the prevale
of
sity. Ob
ty has bec
an important risk f
or in the d
lopment of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular dis
es.
Addinally, during the last few decades there has been an incr
e in the prevale
of
sity. Ob
ty has bec
an important risk f
or in the d
lopment of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular dis
es. The d
lopment of
sity is a com
x interac
n between genetic, psychological, socio-economic and cultural f
ors. Each Individual has unique genetic and environmental f
ors which a
ct food absorp
n there
e; there are individual di
ces in susceptibility to
sity. Cons
ently, a number of subtypes of
se condi
ns exist. Ob
ty, like alcoholism, cannot be cured, it can only be controlled. There
e, how you manage y
health and weight dep
s com
tely on you.
here are s peo
who are 'naturally' thin - no matter what they eat, and how little they exercise. Their bod
' thermostats are set to burn calor
at a very high rate; and their metabolic rate is likewise high. These peo
operate on a bala
d energy budget that seems to r
ire no management on their parts. Un
tunately, s
of us are not so lucky. There are inhe
t di
ces among peo
, and s
ral other external f
ors that contribute to peo
having di
t metabolisms: S
of these f
ors are:
Low Activity Lls
Activity diminishes appetite and incres metabolism. When incr
ing y
ivity through exercise or just going
a brisk walk, you incr
e y
metabolism which in turn burns fat. Addi
nally exercise tones the body and turns the fat to muscle.
Age
Y metabolic rate slows down and you do not r
ire as many calor
to m
t
y
weight, as you grow older. If you eat the same amount of food at
ty as you did when you were twenty, you would bec
overweight.
Body Weight
Lighter peo r
ire fewer calor
to m
t
their body weights as compared to heavier peo
. For exam
, a person weighing 250 lbs r
ires approximately 2700 calor
to m
t
his/her body. Reducing y
calorie intake will result in weight loss.
Ger
Y g
er also plays a role in weight loss. Men t
to have a higher metabolic rate than females,
n at rest. Furthermore because of their higher metabolism they burn more calor
as w
n
n with the exer
n are
al. Cons
ently, w
n t
to g
weight
ily, and find it more difficult to shed the extra kilos.
Heredity
If the biological pats are thin, then there is a 75 per cent cha
that the child
will be thin. For s
ral years there has been specula
n that there is a genetic t
ency
sity. The gene that hampers the feeling of satiety is passed on to the child
. There is also a specula
n that the mitochondria of
se peo
could be di
t. The mitochondria are always inherited from the mother, and he
this may expl
the high correla
n of a child's weight to that of the biological mother. How
r, inheriting the t
ency to g
weight does not mean that you cannot lose weight it just means that you have to work harder at it.
Ective weight loss is management in its purest
m. Only you can bec
y
own e
ctive weight manager. Accepting the f
that we are the only ones that can change
lives is the first step to success.
