Obesity and Diet

Obesity causes

The two main contributors of obesity are overeating and insufficient physical activity. If you take a lot of calories, particularly fat and sugar, but really don't exhaust them through physical activity, the body will store a major fraction of the excess calories as fat. To maintain a healthy weight, the typical physically active man needs around 2,500 calories per day, whereas the typical physically active woman needs about 2,000 calories per day. Genetics, food addictions, Leptin Resistance, Insulin, food availability and processed foods are the main contributors to obesity.
