Answer 1: MOMO syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder which belongs to the overgrowth syndromes and has been diagnosed in only four cases around the world, and occurs in 1 in 100 million births. The name is an acronym of the four primary aspects of the disorder: Macrosomia (excessive birth weight), Obesity, Macrocephaly (excessive head size) and Ocular abnormalities. It is unknown if it is a life-limiting condition. MOMO syndrome was first diagnosed in 1993 by Professor Célia Priszkulnik Koiffmann, a Brazilian researcher in the Genetic and Clinical Studies of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Answer 2: There are many diseases that can cause obesity or difficulties to lose weight, but it is not widely acknowledged and no one educates the public about them. Usually overweight and obese people are portrayed as uncontrolled overeaters and lazy. Many people think that obese people gain weight simply by overeating and not exercising, but this is not always true. Through this kind of outlook there is very little to no compassion for people who suffer with this very troublesome and traumatic problem. Excess weight gain can also be a symptom of another disease.There are many overweight people who really cannot seem to lose weight or have extreme difficulties in keeping weight off, no matter how well they eat or how disciplined they are in trying to keep fit, and are often plagued by food cravings and digestive problems. One which causes weight problems is an infection in the digestive tract called Candida Albicans (you can research about this infection online at many websites). But if people would just educate themselves and do some research on the internet they would be surprised what can cause obesity besides 'stuffing yourself with food and lack of exercise'. However, that does not mean that 'EVERYONE' who has these illnesses are 'ALL' overweight, but many people who were once very fit and thin suddenly begin to put weight on for no reason, until a little later they begin to feel unwell and they cannot do their usual activities. Later they find through medical tests that they have a disease or illness that has caused the weight problem [not the other way around as so many portray obesity to be today]. Here are some diseases that can cause obesity: Endocrine disorders including Hypothyroidism, Leptin Resistant, Cushing's Syndrome, Fibromyalgia [fibro people are often in too much pain to exercise], depression, Adrenal fatigue, Low Dopamine, Low Serotonin (women only produce about two-thirds as much serotonin as men. This is believed to be the reason women are more prone to serotonin-related disorders such as depression and obesity), Insulin Resistant, etc.....

There are also some inherited conditions and other diseases of the brain that can cause excess weight gain.

Certain medications, like steroids, some anti-depressants, seizure medications, and high blood pressure drugs, can also cause excess body weight.
