ABOUT OBESITY

Put simply, obesity is when you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more. Your BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared (kg/m²). It occurs when you eat more calories than your body is able to burn off. The result is that your body stores this excess energy as fat.

Becoming overweight impacts your health in many ways, putting you at greater risk of a number of diseases and conditions such as:

Diabetes
Hypertension
Coronary Heart Disease
Heart Failure
Osteoarthritis
Gall bladder disease
Cancer
Impaired fertility

As well as affecting you physically, being overweight can profoundly affect your mental wellbeing. It is common to experience feeling low and to lack confidence and self worth. You may feel a sense of isolation from family, friends and colleagues.
