Obesity is one of the most
common chronic diseases in the world and is reaching epidemic infectious. According to the World Health
Organization, overweight or obese reported in 1.7 billion people, ie. E.
Approximately 30% of the planet's inhabitants. The increased incidence of obesity is
associated with objective reasons.The share of physical labor in daily life has
declined, transport virtually supplanted walking. I changed and the nature of power. The diet of modern man has become less
natural products and great culinary treated, as well as industrial production
of food rich in fat and in carbohydrate.His contribution is negative: the
popularization of network of restaurants "fast food", high-calorie
drinks, alcohol and computerization of leisure.
Often the causes of
obesity blame hormones. Is it so? More than 95% of cases of obesity - a
consequence of an imbalance of energy intake and energy expenditure, and only
5% - is obesity in various diseases, including endocrine. In the energy balance is influenced by
biological factors, including genetic, behavioral and environmental factors.

The treatment of obesity necessarily conducted in three
directions:
- Correctly
chosen food
- Physical
activity
- Changes
in eating habits
In fact, the treatment of obesity = lifestyle changes. The slower decrease in weight, the lower
the body reacts to changes in lifestyle as to stress. It recommended to reduce the weight of
an average rate of 2-3 kg per month. Slow
gradual weight loss allows you to feel comfortable, do not go hungry, so avoid
disruptions and bring it to the finish - to achieve ideal body weight. While retaining the achieved results
must also adhere to the protective diet and regular motor
activity throughout life.
Why does not make sense to lose
weight in the hospital?
1. If you have gained weight of 120 kg in a few years, do
not try to reduce it within 2-4 weeksof hospital stay. And remember that if you lose weight
very quickly, at that time, your body is in a state of extreme stress caused by
actual starvation, and for a long time such a regime can not survive. Disruption is inevitable!
2. When you are in hospital, you can
not in practice apply all what you teach a nutritionist and a psychologist. You eat what you offer ready-made,
often by the way, without feeling any pleasure from it. You are in the "hothouse"
conditions of a hospital, have nothing to do with your daily life. And the main your task is just to
learn in life to choose the products in the store to properly combine them in
one meal, to cook, to learn to not eating on someone's call for lunch, and as a
result of a conscious approach to the regime. You
need to learn how to plan your meals, learn to control the power in situations
which arise is in your real life (with your rhythm of life, work, leisure),
when all around you are surrounded by temptation when you are experiencing
stress at work and at home.
3. As a consequence of that for you to think, choose, cooked,
fed by the hour, is that after returning home, in a familiar
environment, you can not behave correctly. In real life, including food abundance
and piled on top of your stress, you will feel completely helpless. Your weight will rise again!
4. The psychological approach to weight loss
as to any time limits in the event (stay in the hospital for 2 weeks) is
absolutely not correct. Once
you are discharged home, you "put a tick" ("All right, lay,
lost! '), sit back, and the reverse process!
5. The fact that you have to stay in hospital for 2-4 weeks, not
everyone is delighted. Many
people want to live in the comfort of your home, rather than in a hospital
room.
6. Finally, it makes no sense to pay the extra money just for
living in a hospital room. Think! Is not it better to spend the same
money on a vacation to the sea and get the most out of it, and thus also to
lose weight!
For whom the hospital is
inevitable?
The undoubted advantage of in-patient treatment of obesity are
heavy its manifestations: III and IV degree of obesity morbid (morbid) obesity,
which does not allow the patient to walk and is accompanied by serious
complications (apnea, cardiovascular failure, Pickwick syndrome, disabling
condition and others.). Such
conditions may occur when a very large weight of 150 kg and above; the presence of disability; impossibility of movement.
In all other cases, obesity should be treated on an
outpatient basis under the strict supervision of a physician and a
psychologist, with the possibility of appeal at any time, at the risk of
possible breakdown. Man must constantly feel the support
of a doctor. Time observation
depends on the neglect case, the number of extra kilograms, ability to learn
and desire. Typically, to change
dietary habits necessary for at least 1 month, and for securing at least 3-6
months.
