An obese person has accumulated so much body fat
that it might have a negative effect on their
health. If a person's bodyweight is at least 20
higher than it should be, he or she is considered
obese. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between
25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight. If
your BMI is 30 or over you are considered
obese.What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?The BMI is
a statistical measurement derived from your
height and weight. Although it is considered to
be a useful way to estimate healthy body weight,
it does not measure the percentage of body fat.
The BMI measurement can sometimes be misleading -
a muscleman may have a high BMI but have much
less fat than an unfit person whose BMI is lower.
However, in general, the BMI measurement can be a
useful indicator for the 'average person'.

Obesity treatments have two objectivesTo
achieve a healthy weight.To maintain that
healthy weight.
Treatment for obesity
People who are obese are often discouraged
because they think they have to lose a lot of
weight before any benefits are experienced. This
is not true. Any obese person who loses just five
to ten per cent of their body weight will have
significant improvement in health - this would
mean between 12-25 pounds for an obese person who
weighs 250 pounds.
It is important for patients to realize that a
small drop in weight is a good start and a great
achievement. Experts have found that obese people
who lose weight slowly and constantly, say one or
two pounds each week, are more successful in
keeping their weight down when they have reached
their target weight.

The Mayo Clinic advises obese people to reduce
their total daily calorie intake and to consume
more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It is
important that your diet is varied - you still
need to feed yourself, and should continue to
enjoy the tastes of different foods. The
consumption of sugar, certain refined
carbohydrates and some fats should be reduced
significantly. People who are seriously obese
may be prescribed a very low calorie liquid diet.
These must be done with a health care
professional. Trying to lose weight quickly by
crash-dieting carries the following risks--
You may develop health problems-- You will
probably experience vitamin deficiencies-- You
chances of failure are significantly higher

The more you move your body the more calories you
burn. To lose a kilogram of fat you need to burn
8,000 calories (1 pound of fat 3,500 calories).
Walking briskly is a good way to start increasing
your physical activity if you are obese.
Combining increased physical activity with a good
diet will significantly increase your chances of
losing weight successfully and permanently!
Physical Activity
Try to find activities which you can fit into
your daily routine. Anything that becomes part of
your daily life, weaved into your existing
lifestyle, is more likely to become a long-term
habit. If you use an elevator, try getting off
one or two floors before your destination and
walking the rest. If any of your regular shops
are within walking distance, try leaving your car
at home. Several surveys indicated that the
majority of urban car trips outside the rush
hours are less than a mile long - we can all walk
a mile, and should!
