OBESITY
Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem. It can lead to more than 200 medical problems including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), high blood fat levels (hyperlipidemia), heart attack, brain stroke, joint pains (osteoarthritis), snoring (obstructive sleep apnea) and cancers. Females with obesity have irregular periods, higher incidence of abortions and difficult labor. Obesity increases life risk by 50 to 100% and reduces life span by 5 to 20 years.
Body mass index (BMI) is the most commonly used parameter to define obesity. Indians have more fat and less muscle compared to foreigners with same height and weight.
HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT?
Lifestyle modifications are necessary to maintain fitness and prevent obesity. They are also necessary to lose weight. These include healthy diet, regular exercise, taking food on regular timings, adequate sleep and stress free life. Obesity prevention should start at childhood. Even children should follow healthy food habits and exercise daily.
Majority of the individuals with mild obesity benefit from lifestyle modifications. If your BMI is < 30 kg/m2 you can get rid of excess fat by diet modification, regular physical activity. We need to find out the triggering factors for weight gain and those need to be addressed. If endocrine, genetic problems and medications are triggering weight gain, then they need to be dealt with.
In most individuals overeating of unhealthy foods and lack of exercise trigger weight gain. Dieting (diet restriction) without altering food habits will not result in long lasting weight loss. If the cause of weight gain is unhealthy diet and lack of exercise, then changing to healthy diet and doing regular exercise can reduce ‘fat mass’. As long as healthy diet and regular exercise are followed ‘fat mass’ remains low. Once stopped, ‘fat mass’ increases again. So you need to continue healthy diet and exercise forever to prevent weight regain.

WHY DO I REGAIN LOST WEIGHT?
When BMI is ≥ 30 kg/m2 body already got adopted to a higher fat mass. Even if healthy diet and exercise are followed, there will not be much weight loss. Even if you lose more, you will regain weight. Lifestyle modifications are not enough for long lasting and effective weight loss when BMI is ≥ 30 kg/m2. 96 out of 100 members fail to lose weight or regain weight with non surgical methods, if BMI is ≥ 30 kg/m2. Even if healthy diet and exercise are followed, there will not be much weight loss.
When you start dieting and exercise, you need to fight against the hormones and genes controlling ‘fat mass’ to lose weight. If you fight, these hormones and genes won’t keep quiet. They fight back (increased Ghrelin, reduced GLP 1 & peptide YY) and induce counter changes in the body – increase hunger, reduce metabolism and heat production to conserve energy. A stage will come when you can’t tolerate hunger, start eating more food resulting in weight regain. Even though there is initial weight loss, weight will come back over a period of several months and sometimes you gain more weight.
Very low calorie diet (VLCD)
