How To Get Rid Of Your Excess Fat By Knowing Where You Carry It

SPANISH TRANSLATION: ¿CÓMO DESHACERSE DE SU EXCESO DE GRASA?

Obesity is a condition in which the body has accumulated so much excess fat, that it is unhealthy. Obesity can bring on heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea as well as other conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified obesity into three types: Class I, Class II, and Class III.

Three elements are used to determine obesity:

• Body mass index (BMI):

This index is an estimate of body fat. The BMI value is obtained by dividing a person’s weight by the square of their height. (BMI calculators can be accessed online). A BMI of 30.0- 4.9, is considered class I obesity. A BMI of 35.0- 39.9 is class II obesity, and class III (extreme obesity) is 40.0 and above.

• Waist size:
An increased waist size and circumference, compared to hip size, are markers for abdominal obesity. The marker for women is a waist size of more than 35 inches, and for men, a waist size more than 40 inches.

• Risk factors:
Contributing factors to obesity include lack of sleep, unhealthy diet, and lifestyle.

Where did the extra weight come from and how do you get rid of it? Examine your lifestyle.

How are you sleeping?

Research shows that people who sleep fewer hours feel hungrier than those who sleep well and tend to prefer eating higher calorie foods and carbohydrates. This eating pattern leads to weight gain and obesity.

Do you eat nutritious meals that contain fresh fruits and vegetables? It’s easier to grab something and eat on the run, and fast food is delicious. However, it’s not very healthy. Fast foods are high calorie, high-fat, and filled with sugar. And it’s all available in super-sized quantities. You may want to consider not super-sizing your meals and gradually substituting fried foods for fresh foods.

If your lifestyle is sedentary, increase your activity. Spending hours daily watching TV has been connected to overweight and obesity. Also, many of the modern conveniences in society have decreased the number of calories that we burn. Automobiles have reduced the need for walking. You may want to walk more, or ride a bike. Use stairs instead of elevators.

Once you find out how that fat got there, you can develop a plan to get rid of it. And, if you continue to work your plan, that fat won’t come back.
