Choose to Lose by Dr. Goor. Restrains fat intake. One is given a “fat” budget and he is given the liberty on how to spend it. It does not pressure the individual to watch his carbohydrate intake. Eating meat and poultry as well as low-fat dairy and seafoods is okay. A go signal is also given on eating vegetables, fruits, cereals, bread and pasta. This weight loss plan is fairly healthy, good amounts of fruits and vegetables as well as saturated fats. Watch triglyceride levels though; if high, trim down the carbohydrates and tuck in more of the unsaturated fats.

Pear shaped obesity is where its not the stomach that is affected by obesity it is the hips and thighs, giving your body the shape of a well built pear! This type of obesity can require liposuction to get rid of the fat under the skin, but a lot of weight has to be lost before a consultant will use a general anaesthetic on you. Putting someone under the knife while morbidly obese is very dangerous and is only ever done in very rare circumstances. Stomach obesity is the more common of the two for unknown reasons. The older generation seem to have pear shaped obesity whereas the younger generation seem to suffer from stomach obesity. I feel the reasons are due to the diet changes over the years. Years ago people used to eat whole healthy foods but these days foods are pumped full of chemicals and additives which may be altering where we put our fat in our body. If this is true then the foods that we eat can possibly determine where we store our fat and can then be manipulated!

Obesity causes major health problems and researches have made note that unless the situation is addressed we can be facing a worldwide problem and breakdown due to obesity. It is a major complication in terms of operations as many doctors and consultants will not anaesthetize any one who is grossly overweight as this is extremely unsafe. Therefore more important medical problems can’t be solved or helped when obesity is a problem. Obesity research is crucial and extremely important when it comes to obesity and its finding needs to have action taken, there are far to many people grappling with the problem of being overweight and loosing the struggle and turning obese. Research finding should be made available in forms of books, television adverts, leaflets and school topics, doing this we will try to save the next generation from falling susceptible to the world wide problem that is obesity!
