Obesity is a serious problem that can lead to many health problems. Some of them are pulmonary problems, heart diseases, and diabetes.
Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than your body needs, either because of too much food or too little activity.
The Main Cause of Overweight
The increase in obesity rates is due to increased consumption of unhealthy, energy-dense foods and decreased physical activity. This has increased the incidence of cardiovascular, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.
Several factors drive the consumption of energy-dense foods. This includes:
- Lack of knowledge about nutritious food and choosing taste over nutritional food.
- Lack of regulation on the marketing and consumption of this type of food.
- Eating cheap, high-calorie, and low-nutrient processed food.
- High levels of advertising targeting children and adults encourage them to buy ‘unhealthy’ food products rather than nutritious alternatives.
- Blindly following influencers and their paid advice
Did You Know?
” The health risk is twice as high in an overweight person compared with a normal-weight person. “
Why Do You Know BMI ?
A certain amount of fat in the body is fuel in the form of energy to do work.
How to lose weight is an evergreen debated topic. Many people who are overweight are searching for the key to losing weight. BMI points help us to know our weight status.
The right way to calculate the risk factor of overweight or underweight is to check with the BMI (Body mass index) Calculator; according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
- If your BMI is less than 18.5, it falls within the underweight range.
- If your BMI is 18.5 to 24.9, it falls within the normal or Healthy Weight range.
- If your BMI is 25.0 to 29.9, it falls within the overweight range.

Obesity: Men vs Women
We have come a long way to remove gender inequality, but do you know gender differences play a critical role in the development of obesity?
” Females are at double the risk of being overweight or obese and the associated risk of physical and psychological comorbidities.
Sadly, Women have two times higher rate of mortality in obese women in comparison with obese men. “
Mainly these differences can be explained by the difference in medical comorbidities and emotional & psychological issues.
For example, post-pregnancy women divert their full attention to raising the child and looking after his/her needs instead of shading the extra pounds accumulated during pregnancy.
Clinical determinants in women like Hormone contraceptive pills, conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Infertility treatment, Pregnancy, breastfeeding duration, and menopause critically play an essential role in gender disparities in obesity.
Junk Food – Shall We Avoid This Food?
When I say junk, I do not only point to burgers, pizzas, or street-side foods. All the foods high in sugar, saturated fat, and refined carbs and low in protein and fibre are on this target list.
1. Know your food
The biggest issue that arises when it comes to weight gain or weight loss is the misconception related to which food is healthy, which food I should include, and which food is best according to the genetic makeup and environment of a particular person.
For instance, we see the foreign influencer talking about the benefits of blueberries, get influenced, and start hunting for the same without understanding that non-native blueberries coming to India will have a lot of preservatives (harmful), and we can get the same may be better nutrients in strawberries grown in and around.
We avoid desert and wheat-based foods for being high carb and choose gluten-free pizzas believing it to be low carb (influence of advertising), but what’s the reality? Gluten-free pizza can be high in carbs, sugar, and lesser protein.
Also, you have to make smart choices among healthy food items; for instance, avocado and banana both have tonnes of health benefits, but avocado is high in fat, protein, vitamin K and calories, and on the other hand, banana is high in vitamin B6, sodium, carbs high glycemic value comparatively.
Hence, based on my requirement, I will choose either of them.
2. Plan Your Food
If I ask a question to all, what makes you eat outside or go for a quick fix? All the answers will be pretty similar, forgot to get the lunch, couldn’t prepare anything at the last movement, missed the ingredients of the dish I wanted to prepare, etc. But why did it happen?
Because you didn’t plan your meals beforehand, that is a night before or on the weekends. Just prepare the list of healthy dishes and ingredients depending upon the cooking you are going to do; mind you do not forget the snaking hours plan some healthy snacks and shop altogether.
By doing this, you will not have crises of ingredients at the last movement, and if you have planned healthy snacks like fruits or nuts along with the main meal, you will ace the healthy lifestyle goals since those are the time you make the unhealthiest decisions.
3. Right Food:
Most people wonder why they are feeling hungry and craving food within a few hours of eating. That’s because you are not taking enough protein and fiber in your meal.
Fiber and protein take longer to digest; hence they prevent sudden glucose spike, makes you fuller for longer, and prevents frequent snaking & cravings for carbs and sugar.
The feeling of satiety also prevents midnight snacking, hence effective in maintaining the right balance and gap between two consecutive meals.
Many researchers have observed that if you drink water half an hour before a meal, you tend to prevent overeating. Moreover, water is calorie-free and an excellent choice of drink to replace high-calorie drinks.
4. Correct your sleeping cycle and stay stress-free
To keep up with a rapidly changing lifestyle, people always compromise with sleep, thinking; what wrong can happen if I sleep less? I am working for 22 hours a day, earning more money; I can buy anything I want. But my friend’s good health is something you must build, and prevention is always better than cure.
I am saying this because researchers have found that those who sleep less and pile up bundles of stress are more prone to snacking junk and hence resulting in obesity. In fact, upon obesity, self-esteem issues arise, which leads to binge eating disorders.
Foods to Avoid In Obesity
What foods we can consume to avoid obesity is among the top frequently asked questions. But you know what is more interesting yet simple, the answer.
Because you don’t have to stress yourself to prevent obesity, instead readily available foods in your nearby market can help you to reach your goal.
For Instance, Whole grains like whole wheat, brown rice, quinoa, etc., are the complex carbs you need in your diet.
Fiber is something that, with minimal calories, keeps you fuller for longer, and you can get fiber as well as essential vitamins and minerals in colorful fruits and vegetables, not specifically potatoes.
Keep in mind that never substitute whole fruit with fruit juice if you do so, you lack fiber.
Fats are always criticized for weight gain, but not all fats are bad; the polyunsaturated fats from Nuts, seeds, fish, plant oils, and fruits like avocado can enhance your eating quality and may not contribute to obesity.
For protein, the game changer, you may consume poultry products, tofu, mushrooms, nuts, seeds, etc. Protein is a building block for muscle; hence never miss it in your diet.
Other tips: drink plenty of calorie-free water, and avoid the foods like sugary beverages, refined grains, fried potatoes, red meat, and other highly processed foods.

3. Will weight loss lower blood pressure?
One of the best ways of life adjustments for lowering blood pressure is weight loss. Even a minor weight loss can help lower blood pressure if you are obese or overweight. The potential for lower blood pressure increases with weight loss. Lowering your blood pressure medication dosage as you lose weight or stop taking it altogether could be workable.
4. What is weight loss surgery best?
You may lose a lot of weight with any weight reduction surgery, but each has benefits and drawbacks.
For example:
More people tend to lose more weight with a gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy than with a gastric band. The risk of major surgery is higher with a gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
Gastric bands are detachable, so the procedure may be undone if it leads to significant issues. Complications are often higher with a gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
Consult your surgeon about the various procedures for weight reduction surgery to determine which is ideal for you.
