Your BMI is 30
Your BMI of 30 categorizes you as being obese. Extra weight can stress the body with extra pressure. The most vulnerable body parts are the heart and the respiratory system, but the circulatory system is often prone to obesity-related health conditions as well. In order to lose weight, you should consider a new approach to diet and exercise.
Each person’s body is unique and may have different caloric needs. When your body’s caloric balance status is in caloric excess, it means that you are eating more calories than your body is using and you will store these excess calories as fat. Besides diet and behavior, the environment and genetic factors may also have a significant effect in causing people to be overweight or obese. It is important to understand the risks you are facing if you do not take any measures to lose weight.
Overweight and obese individuals are at increased risk for many diseases and health conditions, including the following:
- High LDL
- Low HDL
- High levels
If you are seriously overweight, have tried dieting and exercise but you fail to lose weight, weight loss surgery is a viable option to consider. If your weight is impacting the quality of your life, bariatric surgery can help you regain control of your life and improve your health.
If you try to stick to the daily caloric intake that corresponds to your height, you will be able to lose weight at a slow but steady pace, until you reach your desired weight. Dieting is not truly efficient on its own, but it can work wonders combined with regular physical activity. Once you lose all the weight you intend to get rid of, your daily caloric intake should be recalculated to serve the goal of maintaining your weight. Weight loss surgical procedures can help you control your caloric intake. The weight loss surgery costs can vary from $7,000 to $23,000 based on the type of procedure you require.
