The Diet in The Treatment of Obesity (Part 1)
Obesity is a disease that can be defined as the increase in body weight over 15% of its value considered normal, due to increased body fat.
There is a parameter that lets you easily define the existence of obesity, body mass index (BMI):
BMI (kg/m2) = Actual Weight / Height x Height
* Weight in Kg
* Length in meters
Obesity is a carrier of any person with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 kg/m2. Body Mass Index (BMI) also serves to classify the different degrees of obesity:
* BMI 30-40 kg/m2, moderate obesity
* BMI> 40 kg/m2, extreme obesity.
In Spain the prevalence of obesity, according to a study led by Javier Aranceta and collaborators in 1995, was 13.4% in men and women aged 25-60 years. What is more worrying is the fact that it is increasing.
Another important aspect from the point of view of morbidity (increased risk of illness) and mortality, is the fact that people with a BMI over 30, have an increased risk of diabetes (excess weight causes a resistance to insulin and may be caused by either a carbohydrate intolerance, but not all obese people are diabetic and vice versa), hypertension (with increasing body mass, the heart must pump more blood, which is an increase in the values of blood pressure)…,

For example, it was found that when the partner was eating 30 candy and was presented as (thin), the student took, on average, 10. But in the same conditions, but characterized as obese, took only 6. A very distinct difference, as shown.
