Managing obesity

Obesity is a complex condition that is not easily treated. It is far more complicated than eating the wrong foods or lacking discipline.
There are multiple biological and genetic factors that predispose some people to be overweight and obese. Obesity often runs deep in
some families where genetics impact an individual’s baseline metabolism and appetite.

Many people with obesity are made to feel a sense of shame, guilt or embarrassment about their weight. Often they have tried and tried to shift the kilos without long-term success. Healthcare professionals don’t always help – many add to this stigma rather than help to redress it.

And yet obesity does carry undeniable health risks. It’s linked to many chronic conditions that can severely reduce longevity and quality of life.
