Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1.7 billion people falling in the overweight/obese category (as per WHO). Weight loss can range from being relatively simple to being almost unattainable, depending on several factors such as type and severity of obesity, the age and lifestyle of the individual and the psychological mindset.
It is often seen that in the few spurts of knowledge dispersed on weight loss, people across resort to dieting, exercising and a host of other methods, though not always intelligently. Some in spite of balancing these are unable to shed and/or maintain their weight. These treatment options may prove to be beneficial for overweight people, however, in case of morbid obesity, which is estimated to afflict 20% of the obese population, there exists a 98% recidivism rate with such weight loss methods.
Obesity is excess of body fat that frequently results in significant impairment of health. Obesity results when the size or number of fat cells in a person's body increases. A normal-sized person has between 30 and 35 billion fat cells. When a person gains weight, these fat cells first increase in size and later in number.
Weight loss surgery is also known as Bariatric surgery. Surgery on the stomach and/or intestines to help a person with extreme obesity lose weight is called Bariatric Surgery. Bariatric surgery is an option for people who have a body mass index (BMI) above 40. Surgery is also an option for people with a BMI between 35 and 40 who have health problems like type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
There are two main types of bariatric surgery:
1 Adjustable Gastric Banding
2 Gastric Bypass.

DEFEAT CHILDHOOD OBESITY
DEFEAT CHILDHOOD OBESITY
In the last few years childhood obesity has shown to be an issue of critical and increasing importance. A little boy is considered obese if he exceeds his ideal weight by 25%; the threshold is set at 30% for little girls. A child's ideal weight can be easily calculated on the base of BMI (body massive index). If you want to check your child's weight you can visit the website: "http://www.cdc.org" and write "bmi" in the search engine.
Childhood obesity is frequently a consequence of an unbalanced nutrition, more and more based on fat and caloric food, lacking in proteins and nutritive value. Children often eat casually and prefer snacks and soft drinks. Parents tend to buy ready-to-eat products rather than cook themselves with natural ingredients. Purchase decisions in our consumer society are influenced by marketing and misleading advertising, which affect nutrition and deploy its biggest effects on youth.
We lead an inactive life, too. We ride our children at school by car and drive to the workplace, regardless the health effects of a long walk. Our kids like to spend most of their time watching TV, playing videogames and eating junk-food, rather than go out and play.
We all know that genetic factors "weight heavily" too: the risk of becoming obese is 40% higher among children who have one obese parent. For this reason it is extremely important to educate children to eat correctly since the first years of life. Parents bear the responsibility of orienting the eating habits in the family and making their children develop a personal relationship with food, eventually keeping them on a slimming diet.
In this society of the "bite and flee" is essential getting together for lunch of dinner time. So the primary target of the parents is to transmitting to the own children the right way to follow a healthy diet.
The first step to defeat the obesity is to change slowly and gradually our life-style and explaining the benefits we obtains by loosing weight. For example: getting more energy, social respect, major safety and self-esteem. The parents must also know that the obesity brings:
PREMATURE CONSEQUENCES as:
RESPIRATORY: apnea, sleeplessness and difficulties paying attention to homeworks or studies. TIREDNESS: articular disturbs. Leggs crossed as a bow or X. Flat feet reduced mobility, articular pain.
DIGESTING APPARATUS DISTURBS: calculus stones in gallbladder
PSYCHOLOGICAL DISEASE. Children usually make fun of fat friends and discriminate them, because they are awkward and tend not to take part in sports. Consequently, obese children feel often ashamed, lose confidence and self-esteem and prefer to spend most of their time at home, watching TV, eating chips and taking soft drinks.
EARLY PUBERTY: the obesity can cause early puberty in girls as:
1) Downy.
2) Heavy sweating.
3)Breast growth.
In such cases the specialist (endoctrinologist) will suggest lab. exams like:
1) Pelvic Ecography.
2) Left wrist X ray.
3) Blood exam. Hormonal dosage for glycemia to diabetes control.
4) Measuring the height and the weight for early growing.
LATE CONSEQUENCES: a child who has been obese in the infancy has more chance becoming obese in the adult-age and be exposed to the nature's disturbs:
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: high blood pressure.
MUSCOLAR SKELETAR: premature arthrosis.
METABOLISM TROUBLES: diabets, hypercolesterol.
FOOD TROUBLES: gastroenteric cancer.
All these consequences must spur parents to improve and make children's lifestyle more healthy. If necessary, a specialist could provide psychological support and help kids to start this slow and difficult way.
A winning move to achieve the best results in the struggle against childhood obesity is to integrate psychological training with recreational and cultural activities, such as acting in theatre, cinema or courses which stimulate kids to experience their manual skills, like painting on ceramics, clay modelling, carving in wood.
Every children have a passion or inner interest and this can be a great opportunity to help them to express their personality. Never forget to support and trust them during their difficult change of eating habits. Children have a surprising interior strength: if their skills are correctly addressed, they are able to make a healthy and happy future come true.
This is the point of view of a mother who loves her children immensely. In this technologically advanced society everything evolves swiftly and we can't take our time to meditate about what is really important in our life. I am firmly convinced that we have the duty to teach healthy principles to our children and improve the world, by rediscovering our origins and taking care of nature. Why don't we start by nutrition, teaching our children to eat natural and genuine food?
Take action for healthy nutrition! Feel free to visit my blog: http://defeat-childhood-obesity.blogspot.com

Weight Loss by God's Natural Design
If you want to lose weight and gain better health, the following list will lead you in changes you can make that will help both. We must consider the natural design of the body and what makes it function the very best instead of doing what is harmful when trying to lose weight. If we lose weight and our health, we have lost everything. This method will also be most likely to keep weight off. We are choosing a lifestyle, not going on a diet.
1. The goal for losing weight should always be optimal health which will in turn give optimal weight. So focus on improving your health each step of the way. However, if we get too legalistic and stringent, we will always fail, so the first tip is to adopt the 5% Rule. Eat 95% premium healthy food and 5% anything you want - yes, anything!
2. Drink half your weight, in ounces, of pure water - but not with meals. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so the next time you want to eat, instead drink a big glass of water. This also helps with proper digestion, elimination and cell communication. Do not drink with meals because this dilutes the stomach acids and enzymes which assist in proper digestion.
3. Maintain a high percentage of raw plant food which provides the enzymes to support proper functioning of the adrenal glands and, in turn, keeps the metabolism high, providing abundant energy and burning more calories.
4. Appetite is controlled by fiber, nutrient density and caloric density. Choosing food which is high in fiber and has the highest nutrient per calorie ratio will help to control the appetite best. The top three food categories for this are green vegetables (both leafy and solid), fresh fruit and legumes. These foods not only support healthy weight, but also protect against life-threatening disease.
5. Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes daily or about three hours per week. Exercise increases the metabolism which burns more calories, makes digestion more efficient, helps maintain lean body mass and revs up energy production in the cells.
6. Maintaining a diet high in unrefined plant food, which is high in fiber, allows unused calories to be expelled instead of stored as fat. According to a 1970 study by Dr. Dennis Burkett, an unrefined high fiber plant-based diet produced 60% of ingested calories in excreted feces while only 20% of ingested calories were in the feces of the group eating refined, processed and non plant food. The low fiber/refined food was mostly stored as fat.
7. The Chinese diet has almost 300 more calories per day than the U.S. diet, yet they are much less obese because their diet is approximately 99% plant food. The type of calorie does matter.
8. The type of fat we consume also matters for health and weight loss. Switch from bad fats to good fats. Bad fats are animal fat, hydrogenated fat and heated fat. Good fats are raw, unheated, non hydrogenated plant fat as found in raw nuts and seeds, avocados, coconut and extra virgin olive oil and other unheated plant oils (oils should be used in small amounts because of concentration). Good fat will reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes, but cannot be overused or you will be ‘wearing’ good fat on your body.
9. New technology has now produced plant sterol supplements, phytosterols, which are nutrients from plants which nourish the endocrine (glandular) system - the 'go' systems of the body. A well-functioning endocrine system helps support the body's efficient burning of fat among many other benefits such as supporting the natural production and balance of hormones.
10. Eat only whole grains, preferably intact (not milled or flaked). Refined grains (also known as durum semolina flour, wheat flour, unbleached white flour, enriched wheat, unbleached wheat flour) clog the intestines causing excess weight and turning food which is not properly digested, due to the now improperly functioning intestines, into fat.
11. When the cells are given the nutrients they need to be satisfied, they do not constantly scream for more food. The eight essential glyconutrients which cause proper cell to cell communication, gives the nutritional support needed to satisfy the most important need of the cells. When the cells communicate properly, everything else functions more efficiently and excess weight is eliminated more easily.
12. High protein, low carbohydrate diets cause the body to lose lean tissue (muscle which burns fat), water and minerals. Once the dieter is off the diet, the body will avidly devour and retain these needed materials, and the weight will zoom back on, quite often higher than the starting point. The longer a person is on the high protein diet, the more damage is done to the heart, arteries, kidneys, adrenal glands, liver, pH balance and vitamin/mineral balance. Carbohydrates are the intended source of energy for the body, however, the problem with carbohydrates is in choosing processed, manmade, fat laden or unbalanced menus (such as potatoes and corn several times a week).
13. Minimize sugars and cooked foods in the diet, which tend to cause an imbalance of the B-vitamins which will set off strong cravings for the wrong foods. Sugar substitutes also cause cravings along with many other health problems. Raw honey is the best source of sweetener.
14. To help insure your food is assimilated instead of turned into fat, chew your food until it is liquid, in a relaxed environment. Do not overeat and do not eat again until the stomach is empty. Also, for best digestion, do not eat fruit with other food.
15. Take plenty of pure water and raw food with you when leaving the house for a while so impulse eating will be minimized.
16. Consider fasting one day a month to cleanse, reset the appetite and gain self discipline. This is more powerful than you can imagine and becomes easier the longer you do it.
17. Instead of using food for comfort, consider going to the Living Well, Jesus, The Greatest Comforter!
18. It takes time to seat new habits. Do not give up. Only you are responsible for change in your life. You can do it!

Exercise and Fat Loss - Amazing Ways to Proven Fat Loss
Exercise and fat loss may take a lot of effort and oftentimes, the rewards aren’t always that evident immediately. But no matter how long or how tough it is to lose that stubborn fat, bear in mind that these small steps could equal any giant leap when taken together. Follow these simple steps for proper exercise and fat loss; you will not only lose fat effectively, but keep it off as well.
Exercise Any Chance You Get
Keep moving. Make yourself busy with errands. Walk or ride a bike instead of driving to the store. If you do take the car, park as far away from the entrance as possible and walk the rest of the way there. Do the same at work. Shun the elevator and make a beeline for the stairs. Take a walk around your office building for fifteen minutes during lunch. At home, perform household chores — from the dishes to the laundry. Not only are you getting a nifty workout, you’re getting things done, too. Remember, as long as you’re on the move, you’re burning calories.
Muscle burns fat and calories all day long, even when you stay put and do absolutely nothing. Therefore, build more muscle! Do weights or strength training as this boosts metabolism, so that you’re still losing the fat long after you’ve cooled down. You may notice at first that your body seems to be doing anything but lose weight, but that only means you’re gaining muscle tissue, which will then help you lose fat and drop the pounds eventually.
When doing aerobic or cardiovascular exercises, the best time for this would be first thing in the morning, when your body does not have any carbohydrates to burn. To get the energy needed for your workout, your body will burn fat instead. Make sure you drink lots of water beforehand, though, to prevent dehydration.
One great motivation for having a proper exercise and fat loss program, as well as building muscle tissue, is the food you get to eat. If you’ve got plenty of muscles, then you can afford to eat a little more; and you don’t have to worry about your body hoarding all the calories as the muscle will just burn them right up anyway. That’s not to say, however, that you’re free to gorge on all the chips and sweets you can eat to your heart’s desire (and demise). Neither should you deprive yourself of the occasional treat. Moderation is key. Remember, proper diet and nutrition go hand in hand with exercise.
Lose the Lard by Eating Right
Eat frequently but not heavily. Eating five or six small meals throughout the day is ideal than eating three bigger meals. Do not plunge yourself headlong into this, leaving no room to get accustomed to it. Take time to adjust, until you are comfortable with fewer portions at every meal. This strategy also helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently as it has fewer amounts to work on each time. Keep in mind to consume the most food at breakfast, and the least at dinner, as you have a whole day ahead of you to burn those calories you acquired in the morning.
Never allow yourself to get hungry as this slows metabolism considerably. When that happens, your body is not able to burn as much fat as you would like. Instead, it will only get ‘greedy’ and will want to hold on to whatever you feed it when you do decide to eat, thus, making it more difficult to shed the extra fat.
Do not load up on carbohydrates, as this will keep your body too preoccupied to concentrate on the fat. Eat protein-rich foods like fish, poultry, eggs, beans, milk, and tofu, because protein takes longer to digest and requires the most energy in doing so. Thus, the act of digesting is, in itself, a calorie buster. Fiber foods such as wheat bread will make you fuller faster and, like water, is also very effective in flushing out toxins from the body.
Following a proper exercise and fat loss program really aren’t that complicated after all. And don’t worry about the smallest of actions not making the slightest bit of difference. They do. The numbers may be negligible, but they all add up eventually—and quite sizably, too.
