Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to an extent that it may have a negative effect on health. People are generally considered obese when their body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person's weight by the square of the person's height, is over 30 kg/m2; the range 25–30 kg/m2 is defined as overweight.Some East Asian countries use lower values. Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases and conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, osteoarthritis, and depression.

Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility. A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental disorder. The view that obese people eat little yet gain weight due to a slow metabolism is not medically supported. On average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their normal counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass.

I saw that you included medications as a source of weight gain, and this is so true and highly overlooked by many.
There are 3 other potential causes, though rare, that can cause obesity as well;
1. Tumors on pituitary glands
2. Thyroid disorder
3. Hormonal disorders affecting dopamine, grehlin, leptin, & cortisol

My advice to any doctor treating a *morbidly* obese patient, is a full lab assessment and full body MRI.
Each "morbidly" obese patient is different and have varying determining factors to their particular body.

“HEY! THAT’S FAT-PHOBIC!” HOW DARE YOU!”😆 🤣

[Aye]

Between ages four and seventeen, I was heavily overweight. Aged eleven, mild breach of a medically prescribed diet made me faint. At seventeen, I lost five stone by counting calories. However, some nights, having run out of calories, I forced myself to go hungry - *I can't advise how safe this was*. Exercise alone, while healthy in moderation, doesn't burn enough calories for weight loss.

Rob Grant's "Fat" (2006) says past age sixty five, being overweight by even forty pounds improves life expectancy; that cholesterol can't actually enter the bloodstream, and epidemiology standards have lowered to a point where just about anything can be "proven" to cause just about anything else.

Apparently, weight is gained not simply through blatant gorging, but by even slight calorific excess. Some skinny people eat loads. Some brains, it's thought (such as on the autistic spectrum) don't process pleasurable sensation as closely, so feel a need to eat more.

Thank you! We have some really large members at our church. I used to feel guilty less often but since turning to Christ and church groups I have started to feel guilty more often. When driving away from Jesus I feel more confident but when returning to church, the guilt comes back. At church we bring it up sometimes and our group agreed that part of faith is to celebrate our guilt, because it keeps us clean and beneath Him. Encouraging guilt is be part of our Christian culture that we inherited. I would not be ashamed of guilt as it is part of being a good Christian, and those that are not guilty might not be forgiven and thus might not reach heaven. I myself often have guilty feelings of not enough faith in God but I use this guilt to ask for forgiveness so I can be saved. I don’t think we should try to overcome our guilt but recognise it as part of being a Christian, even if it is difficult to live with. Even if we feel worse with this guilt, it I better to have it and know that we are true Christians. It brings us down, but it brings us together. Together, and down. Only then we can be saved. Being fat, well I’m bot fat to myself but if you choose to identify 558 pounds as fat, then that is your choice, but being like this does make me feel guilt but from my faith I think guilt is not an unholy feeling even if it means pain. It is like turning your cheek when struck as we are taught and deeply a part of our faith of tolerance our sadness and sickliness - including being large. Faith also why I love America 🇺🇸 and we are unique here, and an exception in the world that can spread faith to others to help them to tolerate guilt of sin, guilt of leaning away, and guilt of being large.

Oh what a day I remember on 2016 my weight was 210 pounds for some reasons I desided to take over exercising for 4 month until I reached 143 on 2019 but on 2022 I became the same the past even worse which is 260 pound 😭

Technically it's 25-30 being overweight for men with 30 + being obese. 23.8 to 28.6 for women with 28.6 + being obese. 20 to 25 would be healthy range for a man. 18.7 to 23.8 would be healthy for a girl. That's "Technically speaking" tho. BMI isn't 100 percent accurate for everyone but for the general population it's not a bad tool to use as studies show that more people who stay within these ranges that don't excessively drink, smoke, abuse drugs or have major mental health issues tend to live longer.

I would think a square meter with as many healthy human parts compressed in it would weigh more than 20lbs. I don't understand BMI.

[anacamilaplaza]

hi! what about the external causes of obesity? i believe the video is lacking so much information

[TheySingLikeFoolishEvils]

[Nagaveni-yodi]

[Zoappeelhel]

[jakariarhussain]

so if a person is short and decides to start working out so that they end up gaining plenty of weight in muscle, will BMI classify them as obese/overweight despite them actually being very healthy?

[RelicOfTwo]

Dude I’m like really young and I’m overweight I just don’t wanna live I’m afraid of getting made fun off my weight

Obesity is a major problem these days. But it's not that much difficult to loose weight, choose a light and healthy diet or you can try Trim support and Garcinia capsules by Planet Ayurveda. They give the best results, as these are Ayurvedic medicines so, no side effects are seen.
