Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate due to the consumption of high calorie refined foods and lack of physical activity. Severe obesity leads to more than 200 types of co-morbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, infertility, depression and several cancers. Obesity reduces life span. 50% of the individuals suffering from severe obesity and severe diabetes are at life-risk.

Excess weight restricts mobility. It leads to breathing difficulty on exertion – walking even small distances and climbing even 1 or 2 floors become difficult. Because of excess weight, individuals get easily tired, become lazy and depressed. Obesity, type 2 diabetes and co-morbid conditions increase clinic visits and hospitalisations. Excess weight affects personal, professional and social lives.

Unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, irregular food habits, lack of sleep and increased stress levels reset the fat mass to a higher value leading to obesity. All these constitute unhealthy lifestyle. Most individuals who gain weight have genetic tendency to gain weight due to the unhealthy lifestyle. Unhealthy lifestyle also leads to type 2 diabetes.

Changing the life style – Eating healthy, Regular physical activity, Regular food timings, Adequate sleep and Stress free life – results in weight loss in individuals suffering from mild obesity. Lifestyle changes help to keep blood sugars under control if you only have mild diabetes.

But weight beyond certain extent, especially when the BMI is ≥ 30 kg/m², cannot be controlled by life style modifications alone, very low calorie diet products, naturopathy, liposuction, cool sculpting and weight loss medications. 96% of individuals suffering from severe obesity fail to lose weight or maintain lost weight in long run. Even if they lose weight initially due to lifestyle modifications, they eventually regain over a period of time as their bodies already got adopted to a higher fat level. If you try to reduce weight by these methods, you have to fight against your body to lose weight. If you fight, your body will fight back. Whenever you try to lose weight by these methods, there will be counter changes in the body and all the lost weight is replaced over a period of time. Similarly lifestyle modifications alone are not sufficient to control severe diabetes.
