How does obesity effect a lifestyle?

it makes it a lot harder to do things with friends, it certainly affects your confidence and the way people percieve you. instead of being percieved on, perhaps; intelligence you get rated on how you look and therefore due to obesity you perhaps don't get the same oppertunities as a slimmer person would. people will always choose a slimmer person over an obese one as they seem to think an obese person is lazy and incapable of tasks that a slimmer person could do. this isn't always true and is often an unfair perception on obese people.

Is 13 stone obese?

If you were 13 stone and were 5 years old, then yes, but if you are an adult then probably not. It is not down to weight only. It also relates to age and height. What is known as your Body Mass Index is what is used to determine if someone is obese or not. So along with knowing what weight someone is, you need to know what age and height they are. So it is impossible to say that 13 stone is obese without knowing those other factors.

What role does the liver play in dietary fat metabolism as compared to that of stored fat as well as the muscle cells and are ketone bodies only produced during ketosis?

Both the liver and muscle cells have enzymes that oxidize acetyl Coenzyme A which are substrates of fat breakdown during aerobic respiration. So the liver's function is immensely important as an organ. Ketones are not only produced during ketosis, but in large amounts as it pertains to weight loss, yes. They are also produced during keto acidosis during starvation, severe dehydration, and acute alcohol toxicity. It should be noted that the liver is primarily responsible for converting fatty acids to Ketones during ketosis.

How long to do you have to starve to be anorexic What are the eating patterns?

I was diagnosed with anorexia last month. It is not about "how long" someone starves or "how much" they weigh, but about their mental state. Anorexia is an ILLNESS, a MENTAL DISORDER. If you are worried about someone, talk to them, what is their attitude to food? Do they contantly watch diet/fitness programmes? Are they very evasive/defensive when you talk to them?

Many avoid eating in front of people throughout the day, always finding excuses. Think how much you have actually seen them eat that day, unfortunately you cannot trust what they say.

If it is yourself you are worried about then i am pretty sure you are not anorexic as someone who truly is would never know or suspect it, but would think they are eating normally and everyone around them is not.

Simply starving yourself does not make you anorexic.
