Medical Video: Being Fat Is Hard Says Katie Hopkins | This Morning
Even though I have been dieting and exercising, many obese people cannot lose weight significantly. Especially if the body can be classified as obese. However, what causes fat people to be thin? Could this problem be overcome?
The cause of fat people is difficult to thin
Reporting from the medical journal Lancet, experts say that obese people have biological systems that are difficult to lose weight. Although previously you can lose weight, but that weight will easily rise again. Whereas before, health experts in America had recommended reducing calorie foods and exercise at least 2 times a week.
Many obese people have been able to lose weight for several months. However, around 80 to 95 percent of them actually gain their weight again. Why are fat people so hard? Because when they reduce calorie intake to lose weight, their bodies actually trigger a biological system to need more calories when hungry.
Besides that, Dr. Rachel Batterham, head of the Obesity Handling Center at University College London hospital, said that the reason fat people are hard is because their body's biological system wants to return to the maximum weight they have achieved. Because, when you reach your maximum body weight, your entire biological system changes. So, it's true that maintaining a fixed weight is very, very difficult.
Weight loss surgery is considered effective for overcoming the problem of obesity
Dr. Christopher Ochner, assistant professor of pediatrics at New York's Icahn School of Medicine, said that those who have chronic obesity problems would find it difficult to change their biological systems to actually recover from fat. Because in fact, they are biologically very different from normal people who have never been overweight.
Ochner believes that if these obese sufferers can only be treated with surgery. Surgical measures are taken namely, a weight loss surgery known asgastric bypass, where the doctor cuts the intestine to make the patient eat less and eventually lose weight. This operation has proven effective in maintaining long-term weight loss. While thin drugs or other treatments have not been proven successful.
Meanwhile Professor John Wilding, from the University of Liverpool Institute of Aging and Chronic Disease, who helped compile guidelines for those who will carry out weight-loss surgery, said that currently only surgery is able to eliminate the problem of obesity.
You can actually lose weight by exercising and dieting. But the fact is, it is even easier to lose weight than to maintain long-term weight for obese people.
