"Obesity" is a painful word for people who love beauty and health; it can cause you a lot of distress. If you don't have an attractive figure, you can't fit into beautiful clothes, and "beauty" will naturally elude you.

High blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and many other troublesome ailments plague obese individuals, threatening their health and preventing them from finding peace of mind. Therefore, to regain beauty and health, please join the ranks of those trying to lose weight.

Maintaining a regular lifestyle and choosing the right foods will yield even better results. Take action now, and may you soon become slim and beautiful, and stay young forever!

Obesity is a source of unspoken suffering and immense pain. Just look at how people ridicule and mock obese people behind their backs: "barrel waist," "round face," clothes that look like sacks, "overweight panda," "huge creature"... The disdainful glances and harsh words severely damage the self-esteem of every obese person and cause them to lose confidence!

"The love of beauty is universal." Indeed, what woman doesn't love beauty? Everyone hopes to attract the attention of a passing man. The ancient poem "Mulberry by the Roadside" contains these lines: "The plowman forgets his plow, the hoe-wielder forgets his hoe; returning home, they complain angrily, for they had only sat and gazed at Luo Fu." While it doesn't explicitly describe Luo Fu's beauty, she was undeniably stunning. You see, the farmers in the fields, so captivated by Luo Fu, even forgot their work.

Obesity and a bloated figure are certainly not beautiful. Every woman wants to be beautiful. In his "Rhapsody on the Lust of Deng Tu Zi," Song Yu of ancient China praised beauty, saying, "Adding an inch would make her too tall, subtracting an inch would make her too short; applying rouge would make her too red, applying powder would make her too white." Modern society uses "bust, waist, and hip measurements" as the standard for judging beauty. Therefore, every obese person is eager to lose weight, hoping to achieve a shapely and just-right figure.

However, what this book wants to tell you is that before you start losing weight, you must figure out what type of obesity you have and what's causing your obesity. Only then can you address the root cause, adopt scientific weight loss methods, and easily achieve your weight loss goals.

From a medical perspective, obesity is generally divided into two types in clinical practice: primary obesity and secondary obesity.

The main causes of primary obesity that can be identified at present are:

I. Obesity related to congenital constitution and with a familial tendency. According to relevant statistics: if both parents are obese, their children have approximately a 75% chance of also being obese; if only one parent is obese, their children have a 38% chance of becoming obese; if both parents are thin, their children have only a 10% chance of becoming obese. Obesity is related to a group of brown cells in the body. Brown cells metabolize more slowly and "burn" less body fat, leading to obesity.

Second, an irregular lifestyle, including unhealthy habits such as overeating, excessive sleepiness, and lack of exercise, is also a contributing factor to obesity. People who become obese for this reason typically have a preference for high-fat, high-calorie foods, such as fatty meats and sweets, and dislike physical activity. Those who enjoy drinking large amounts of beer are also prone to weight gain, as beer is high in amino acids and is often referred to as a "weight-gain agent."

The characteristic feature of primary obesity is that the obese person has a relatively symmetrical body shape, but there is a large amount of fat accumulation in the limbs and trunk.

Some obese individuals may not have fat limbs, but their torso is extremely large, with excess fat accumulating on their face, abdomen, and back, accompanied by many "complications," such as dehydrated skin, sensitivity to cold, and slow reflexes. This type of obesity is secondary obesity, which is caused by diseases such as a lack of innate fat metabolism enzymes, excessive adrenal hypertrophy, and thyroid dysfunction.

Of course, there are many reasons for obesity. If you unfortunately suffer from obesity, don't panic. As long as you find out the cause of your obesity, you can treat the problem accordingly and restore a healthy and beautiful you.

With the rapid advancement of technology and the development of modern civilization, modern life has become increasingly comfortable, but this has also led to a surge in obesity, a "disease of affluence." Obesity not only affects our appearance but also serves as a breeding ground for various diseases. It endangers human health and significantly shortens lifespan. Therefore, obesity is a major enemy of health.

In many developed countries, infectious and parasitic diseases pose a decreasing threat to human health, while non-infectious diseases such as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and hypertension are increasingly becoming major "enemies" of human health. The causative factors for these diseases are mostly excessive intake of high-calorie foods, lack of physical exercise and exertion, excessive smoking, and alcohol consumption.
