What is Obesity?

Being very overweight or obese is thought to be a major medical problem. Doctors define obesity including a formula involving weight and height, an excess of body fat is defined as being greater than 20% higher than one’s ideal body mass, calculated for age, gender, build, and height.

Being obese is said to raise the risk of suffering from a stroke by 50%, increase the chances of diabetes three-fold and raise the risk of developing gallstones, arthritis, hernia’s, cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

Consuming foods that are rich in saturated fats is thought to lead to weight gain. Drinking high amounts of alcohol and refined carbohydrates is also reported to cause weight gain.

Most extra calories that we eat and do not require are stored in fat cells. The body’s ability to store fat is said to be likely to damage health. It is said that obesity might also place stress on the back, legs, and internal organs. Obesity is believed to increase the body’s resistance to insulin and its susceptibility to infection as well as increasing the likelihood of coronary artery disease.

In the Western World, there is an increasing number of children and teenagers suffering from obesity, which in turn puts them at risk of heart attacks, stroke, colon cancer, and gout in future years. Other factors that may result in obesity include glandular problems, diabetes, anemia, and food intolerances.

FAT-FREE – WHAT IS IN A LABEL?

Once you have reached your goal weight and completed your Refeeding Program, you should be aware of what to look out for when reading the labels on products. Product labeling these days can be misleading to the consumer. Have you ever picked one item over another because of the health claims on the label? Terms like ‘fat-free’ ‘all natural’ or ‘organic’ are often put on a food item that may not be healthy at all.

‘Fat-free’ is a notoriously misleading label. When the dangers of saturated and trans fat became clear, the market was flooded with products that flaunted their ‘fat-free’ status. Sure, these products contain little or no fat, however, it fails to mention that these ‘fat-free’ products are usually full of extra carbohydrates (sugars) and we all know that overconsumption of these can lead to weight gain. The two ingredients in foods that most of us enjoy are either fats or carbohydrates. What happens when fat is taken out of a product? The manufacturer adds sugar (or sugar substitutes) to make the product more palatable.

Next time you go to the supermarket pick up a few different brands of ‘low fat or no-fat yogurt or milk and compare the ‘total’ carbohydrate content per 100ml and then look at the fat content. The better choice is the product with the least amount of carbohydrate than fat content. As a general guide, products containing around 5 to 8 grams per 100ml of total carbohydrate are the better products to choose from.
