Obesity is a serious modern disease, it often leads to or associated with other chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and so on.

Dieting and weight control, is far from is beauty, but health needs. All kinds of "weight loss drugs" and "slimming food" bombing people's eye. How do we treat them?

Note that the "weight loss food", "weight loss" in the "weight" with "lose weight".

The latter's role is to help maintain a reasonable body weight, it is difficult in the short term to effectively reduce your weight. So in English, "weight" in the "weight loss" is "anti-obesity" (anti obesity), but "weight loss food", "weight loss" General "weightmanagement" (weight maintenance).

In the strict sense of the "weight loss food" means, in the provision of balanced nutrition, they produce a sense of "satisfied" with relatively strong, thus lowering the people eat other food or snacks.

In this way, the human intake of calories is less, thus contributing to weight control. This food is generally high cellulose content, less sugar fatty foods such as vegetables, roughage. Starch is a carbohydrate, it was supposed to be easy to digest, thermal high food ingredients, but now the development or processing of "resistant starch" or "slow digestion of starch", close to the cellulose.

A lot of cellulose or resistant starch, sugar and fat content of foods that are low as "weight loss food."

This can not say no, but many businesses intentionally mislead consumers to think that eating these foods to lose weight, so regard them as "security" of slimming products. For example, people often say that yogurt is "weight loss food", so there are many people drunk, often to a bottle of yogurt "help to lose weight". In fact, yogurt while is a good food, but the usual yoghurt products contain a lot of sugar and fat, the overall heatis very high, in addition to the normal diet and eat not only help to "lose weight", and is very conducive to "SFI". Only the use of resistant starch or other low-calorie ingredients to replace the fat yogurt is the "weight loss food", and its work on the assumption that it is used to replace other food. If you are outside the normal diet eat fat-free yogurt (or other "weight loss food"), same helpless "lose weight".

It's important to note, if you have the "unscrupulous businessmen" to showcase "slimming effect", in ordinary foods join weight loss drug, then consumers basically don't know, you will find the food "very well".

As a consumer, you need to remember is this: If a certain foods can as drugs effective in losing weight, it is likely to just food — — insecurities often lurk.

People usually use the "height of body mass index" (BMI, also translated into "BMI") to measure a person's obesity.

BMI is weight (kg) divided by height (in metres) squared resulting values. In the United States, it was generally felt that BMI of 25 or more is overweight, and obesity in more than 30. Obesity is considered a disease to be treated. In General, only a BMI greater than 30, or greater than 27 but with other diseases, the doctor will recommend drugs to lose weight. For General weight loss in overweight, drug use was considered unnecessary, or rather, more harm than good.

BMI, body mass and disease risk in different populations are slightly different.

Asian BMI generally lower than in Europe. In China, that BMI 18.5 to 23.9 is reasonable value, 24 to 27.9 is overweight, and 28 above is the real meaning of "obese".

Lose weight or maintain a reasonable body weight for health has a very important significance, but through the drug for weight loss is a two-edged sword.

As the advertisements say "effective" and "security" and "bounce" weight loss drug, in fact not yet been developed. Weight loss drugs, like with anyother drugs, are in need and finding a balance between the side effects. Many of the "beautiful" and lose weight, BMI values far recommends the use of drugs. From a health point of view, reasonable health diet and moderate exercise, is most advantageous.
