people not movement

If a person does not keep moving - their muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons will have a tendency to shorten and stiffen. Then when the joint is moved - it will hurt as all parts are stiff and not used to moving.

Even a 90+ year old should keep moving to keep flexible one CAN regain flexibility IF they will stretch and move slowly to bring the muscles and attachments back to a more normal situation

KEEP MOVING - KEEP STRETCHING

Refined (processed) carbohydrates, plus all artificially flavoured or colored foods, sodas, and other sugar and fat filled foods are major causes of obesity. Overweight and obesity are the result of a lack of energy balance - that is, a chronic excess of energy intake (food and beverage consumption) over energy expenditure (physical activity). Although some people are more genetically susceptible to weight gain than others, the rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity in recent years has occurred too quickly to be explained by genetic changes and most experts believe it is due to living in an increasingly 'obesogenic' environment - one that promotes over consumption of refined carbohydrate foods, sodas, sugary drinks, and limits opportunities for physical activity.

The same way anyone else gets pregnant. Through sex with a male that is fertile. Other than that - in vitro fertilization. I know I was morbidly obese when I got pregnant and I have a healthy son and I had him without needing a c section. It was a long labor but he came out healthy. I know others who are obese who also get pregnant the natural way through sex.

Morbid Obesity is more of a condition than a disease. You can't 'catch' morbid obesity from someone else. Instead, you inflict it upon yourself by eating too much and exercising too little.

Morbid obesity is defined as someone having a BMI of greater than 40. Luckily, it's fairly straightforward to treat. Simply reduce the calories you eat by having healthier meals and increase the exercise you do and you'll lose weight fairly rapidly.

What you let it do. How does being to thin do to you/ How does being old do to you? How does any thing outside your soul do to you. Think about the power people give to things they have power over. Hard to get power. But, older and thinner and fat or whatever there is a word more powerful than them all. YOUR CHOICE! How you choose to let whatever emotionally. If you have a problem then make a choice to get others to help. But, I have seen very sad poor people, fat people, thin people, I have seen very sad pretty people, just the right shape people. It comes down to one word. Nothing. Obesity has nothing to do with emotions that you don't give it the right to have. It sounds hard but truth is not just to make you feel better for a time or two. Truth makes you better forever. Find the truth in that the flesh should NOT have that much power over the MIND or soul of anyone. Think about it. When you talk on the phone to a stranger, that can not see the obesity or the very thin is that not the true person? How others think now with obesity being as bad as the worst thing is far from the truth. A common wrong doesn't make it right. Nor should I think that a missing arm or leg should change a person. To much on the flesh has always been a problem from the Greeks to now.

Actually obesity can cause depression. The person can become very self conscious about what they do in public, feel bad about them selves and go home, eat food, and not go out much. Some people can't help being fat. It is people like the one who responded and answered above that makes the obese people upset, wanting to eat more. They need some comfort, so they go to food. Simple.

What is the best obesity diet is a question asked by many people. On this page, we answer that question and outline a Ketogenic diet that has worked for many people.

You need to avoid or strictly limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional treat). In addition, reduce your intake of saturated fats. However, you must include some fat in your diet for good health and to sustain life.

As deliciously addictive as they are, refined processed carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and many other diet related diseases. If you are unsure what refined processed carbohydrates are, you will find the page link, to a list, at the bottom of this answer.

An excellent recent book that covers this subject of refined processed carbohydrates and the cravings for them is Compulsive Overeating Help: How You Can Stop Food Cravings, Food Addiction, or Emotional Eating in 6 Simple Steps, by Dennis E. Bradford, Ph.D. It's available in Kindle or paperback form, and was a number 1 best seller at Amazon where you can borrow or buy it.

Unlike protein and fats, there is no minimum daily requirement of carbohydrate for good health or to sustain life. So, what should your daily allowance of carbohydrate be for the best obesity diet. Well, the answer can vary. The range for a ketogenic diet is usually from 20 up to 30 grams daily. It varies from person to person.

It is easy to test to see if you are in ketosis by self-testing your urine with reagent strips (they are called Ketostix). Simply adjust your individual carbohydrate intake until you are getting a reading twice daily in the "trace" or "small" range. This will give you maximum fat loss. You can easily buy Ketostix on eBay, Amazon, or at many (but not all) pharmacies. They are not expensive and they are very easy to use.

Do not severely restrict calories. Instead, severely restrict refined processed carbohydrates. Replace those refined processed carbohydrates with 'fat burning' foods. Make good use of the fat-burning thermic effect of fat burning, which are nutritious foods. Eat lean meat, chicken, fish, beneficial fats, low carbohydrate vegetables and low carbohydrate fruits such as berries.

For a full list of fat burning foods, and more about the thermic effect, and how it works, you will find a page link at the bottom of this answer. You will also find page links to free carbohydrate (and calorie) charts for fruit and vegetables at the bottom of this answer.

If you have become very insulin resistance (and many obese people are without knowing it), you may find that you need to count calories as well as carbohydrates for the best obesity diet.

So, if you have taken on board the above information, here is the best way to proceed:

As long as your personal physician approves it first, the best obesity diet is usually one that will put you in a state of benign dietary ketosis. The reason this works well in cases of obesity is that anyone who obese is usually insulin resistant (as stated before, often without being aware of it).

Do not worry: there is no minimum daily requirement for carbohydrates for health or to sustain life; so counting carbohydrates is not unhealthy. Get only 20 to 30 grams of carbohydrates per day to put you into ketosis. Be sure to drink plenty of water to enable your body to deal with this type of protein diet, and ingest sufficient quality, unprocessed, proteins and good fats.

If you are insulin resistant, you will have a tendency to gain weight easily; you will also find it difficult to lose weight (particularly if you count calories rather than carbohydrates).

In addition, in my professional experience, most overweight people (and many normal weight people) are addicted to refined processed carbohydrates. In fact, about 3 out of 4 North American and British adults are carbohydrate addicted. Unfortunately, the average dietary daily intake of carbohydrates for Brits and Americans is about 300 grams. Sadly, most of those carbohydrates are refined processed carbohydrates.

So, the key to losing body fat for the best obesity diet is to shift your body from burning carbohydrates to burning fats. To do that, it is necessary to cut your intake of refined processed carbohydrates and high carbohydrate foods of any kind. If you cut your intake, your body will automatically shift to burning fat. Obviously, for the best obesity diet you want your body to burn stored fat.

People with certain medical conditions should not go on a ketogenic diet, which is why getting your physician's approval in advance is important. If you are otherwise healthy, the best way for a clinically obese person to lose body fat is to use a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet.

Unlike protein and fats, there is no minimum daily requirement for carbohydrate in order to flourish physically or to sustain life. However, they do have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating a limited amount is fine (as long as they are unprocessed). Get those carbohydrates from natural sources such as (preferably organic) fresh, non-starchy, low carbohydrate leafy green vegetables and low carbohydrate fruits such as berries.

Recent books on the subject of benign dietary ketosis are Protein Power, and The Protein Power Lifeplan, by Michael R. Eades, M.D., and Mary Dan Eades, M.D.

Of course, regular weight/strength training and walking (cardio) are also particularly helpful when you have lost enough body fat to do this comfortably. For example, proper strength training will increase your amount of lean muscle, which is your metabolic furnace that will burn extra calories 24 hours a day and not just when you are exercising. Similarly, walking for weight loss will speed up your metabolism during and immediately after your walks. Unless you are too overweight to exercise comfortably, you could join a local gym or you could exercise at home.

If you need to lose weight before you are able to exercise comfortably, then simply begin by changing your dietary habits by following the best obesity diet, and add exercise later. As a precaution, consult with your physician or medical adviser before changing your dietary or exercise habits.
