Answer 1

Obesity has become pretty common in America and there are many reasons why a person may be overweight or obese that have nothing to do with a person being lazy or eating too much. Food has hormones in it that cause weight gain and many over the counter medications also cause weight again, along with other reasons.

I recently wrote an article in response to a woman who wrote an article saying: FAT PEOPLE ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!

In my article I address her hate speech and talk about the real reasons for obesity and what can be done to help... I've included a link to that article below and would love to know your opinion on it too.

Also, I've included two more links that might help your boyfriend. Sometimes it's not about how much we eat, but what we eat and how we eat. The two other links below are to articles that talk about how to lose weight, without dieting or MAJOR lifestyle changes, and to be healthier and thinner.

I hope the information helps him... wish him luck. I think it's great he wants to help himself look better and be healthier and it's wonder you are being so supportive of him.

Answer 2

Some people who are obese eat in secrecy, so your boyfriend may eat more than you think. But as far as medications go, meridia helps control appetite and has good results, but it can be expensive- around100 per bottle depending on the pharmacy. But if your boyfriend does not eat a lot, an appetite suppressant may not make a difference. He also needs to exercise and make sure that the food that he consumes is low in calorie because although he may not eat a lot what he does eat may be high caloric.

Answer 3

Obesity surgery-like gastric bypass /lap band surgery / stomach stapling and gastrectomy have become very common now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare. Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India.

I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as obesity surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India.

Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost Obesity surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.

Answer 4

He may not eat much, but that doesn't meant he should be skinny or that he has health problems, he just needs to try eating healthier foods and the key is to exercise, a lot of over weight people dont eat much, but they may not exercize as much as they should either.

Answer 5

It is his fattening tendency of metabolism, but treat it fast with the Yoga Pranayama & Aurvedic treatment of India for permanent cure.

Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and other mammals, is increased to a point where it is 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 predispose to various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is both an individual clinical condition and is increasingly viewed as a serious public health problem.
