Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and mammals, is increased to a point where it is thought to be a risk factor for certain health conditions or increased mortality. Obesity develops from the interaction of individual biology and the environment. Excessive body weight has been shown to correlate with various diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis[1]. Obesity is both an individual clinical condition and is increasingly viewed as a serious public health problem.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

actually most people think its someone that is twice the size of you. in fact according to the ama and new england medical journal. the va hospitals showed that anyone who is 20 pounds or more over the bmi index is now considered obese. morbid obese is 100 pounds over your weight for age, height and weight standards of bmi index.(body mass index).

I'll do more than give you a fish. I'll teach you how to fish. Or in this case instead of giving you the definition, I will give you two places to find the definition.

someone overly fat to the point it is clearly unhealthy and impairs their ability to exercise.
If their clothing size has more than one X before the L then they're probably obese.
