 Hunger indicates the requirement for energy.
 Appetite indicates the type and quantity of the needed nutrient.

Ternate, LAWEMAS.com. The indications came after we had a fat burning metabolism and prior to it, carbohydrates were treated as our favored sources of energy. The signals are effective if you are willing to control fat and protein eating. If a carbohydrate eating is there, it is irregular. Suppose the eaten food endows you with more energy than needed and it requires that the surplus energy be properly directed. It is a real problem of healthy eating doctrine. Having a fat burning metabolism and eating butter or cream lets you manage the eaten amount. Irrespective of you liking for the foods, if you consume more than needed, it gives birth to problems. However, having a sugar burning metabolism for taking carbohydrates as the chief source of energy complicates the problem as it lets you consume sweets without any indication. This lets you have too much energy for your needs.

Such surplus energy gained from carbohydrates gets metabolized into blood sugar, or glucose. Insulin rushes forward from pancreas and it converts the surplus glucose into body fat. Another problem remains and it is that with the surplus energy getting into fat, the glucose in your blood becomes useless and it makes you feel hungry again. So, it continues to more eating and resultantly to overweight.

If you move on to carbohydrates from fats as your source of energy, it creates more problems. This lack of consuming fats makes your body devoid of some vital fatty acids and sterols that your body requires. It gives birth to more hunger. Such elements can‟t be had from carbohydrates.


Two personal reasons can be mentioned that have a social aspect and cause overweight. One is the time of your intakes. Having a proper breakfast and a good lunch and a perfect dinner lets you balance the energy intake and energy needs. In case you lack this balance and eat heavily at night, it causes overweight because you don‟t need too much energy then. Your use of energy is also sometimes responsible. The energy needed for an active person has to be more than an inactive person. The preachers of the healthy eating doctrine concentrate on this while taking about the need to count the calories of your eaten food. This stems from the fact that your appetite can‟t handle the surplus consumption for eating extra carbohydrates and it necessitates counting the calories. This might be a tough job to count and your counting of calories in accordance with the needs of energy can be utterly wrong.

Knowledge about Anti-Depressants and Some Other Medications:
Consuming some medicines according to a prescription might also lead to weight gaining. To clarify this fact, lets assume that you are suffering from depression and goes to the doctor for suggestion. The doctor suggests Paxil® or Zoloft® and both of them are worthy antidepressants. You can soon realize that your weight is increasing. Nutritionist Madelyn Fernstrom believes that these medicines can increase your hunger and can also hamper the process of metabolism. Other medicines like beta-blockers, corticosteroids and birth control pills can also do the same.

Lack of Sleep:
International Journal of Obesity states that an American generally sleeps for seven hours at night. It is also believed by science that your weight might increase if you sleep less than eight hours. What is the reason? It is so because the natural function of our body gets threatened by a lack of sleep. It can even stimulate the hormones that generate our appetite. In fact, you tend to consume sugary treat full of calories instead of healthy foods, when you are extremely fatigued.


The Habit of Consuming Quickly:
Your habit of eating your food too fast can also be responsible for the problem of your overweight. Wikipedia.com says that the term "Fletcherizing” was coined by Horace Fletcher. His theory suggests that in case of chewing your food (32 times to be specific) well on the eve swallowing it, you consume less food and aid your digestive system to improve.

A Protective Fence:
Sometimes gaining weight is a mental and protective fence for some people. May be some past incidents unconsciously prompts you to be overweight so that you can fight against all odds in the future because you are then physically more strong. You also might want to draw a demarcating line between you and the world. You feel that you won‟t be asked to show or exhibit anything if you are overweight.

Genetics:
Some people opine that their weight is derived from or caused by the overweight of their parents. Research shows that in case of willing to have fat about the midsection can be genetically compared to one parent. A sluggish metabolic rate can also be inherited. It refers to the fact that you tend towards gaining weight more than others.


Health Risks of Overweight
Check your obesity by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI). A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is deemed healthy, while anything beyond it‟s obese. The BMI uses the height and weight of an individual to calculate whether the body of the individual‟s healthy or unhealthy. If your BMI is above 30, then you‟re obese and might be prone to a lot of related health problems like sleep apnea, cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and high cholesterol. Here are a few common diseases that arise due to obesity:

Heart problems
Heart diseases and strokes are the leading causes of deaths in the United States. This is because overweight people suffer from high blood pressure, blood fats (triglycerides) and angina which lead to major heart problems and strokes. The problem occurs when plaque, a fatty material, builds up on the inner walls of coronary arteries which supplies oxygenated blood to the heart. The plaque in the arteries narrows it hence reducing flow of oxygenated blood to the heart. As your BMI slowly increases, the chances of suffering for heart attacks and disease such as coronary heart disease becomes greater. Incase of obese people, the heart can simply fail to pump enough blood around the circulatory system to attend to the needs of the body, leading to congestive heart failure.

Strokes
Obesity and overweight can help store fatty adipose deposits in the arteries which might lead to blood clots within the arteries. Incase the blocked artery is close to the brain it can hinder the flow of oxygen and blood to the brain and hence cause a stroke. Strokes are more prevalent in people who have high BMI.


Hypertension or High Blood Pressure
This is as a result of the high amount of pressure exerted by the blood as it pushes against the artery walls. Obese and overweight people have a higher chance of suffering from hypertension.

Blood Fats
The chance of you having irregular levels of fats in your blood‟s greater when your BMI is over 30. Such blood fats include low-density lipoprotein or LDL, a fat-like matter called „bad cholesterol‟, triglycerides as well as low high-density lipoprotein, also known as „good cholesterol‟. These uncharacteristic levels of blood fat in blood stream can lead to serious heart problems.

The Metabolic Syndrome
This encapsulates a group of factors linked to high obesity and overweight that, heighten the risks of heart ailments and other health troubles like strokes and diabetes. Any person can exhibit any of these factors but generally these risks tend to happen together. When a person‟s suffering from any of the three following heart ailments risks, he or she‟s suffering from the metabolic syndrome:
  1. Are you apple-shaped or have a large waist? If you‟re one then you‟re suffering from obesity which is primarily abdominal. The extra flab around the waist poses a greater threat to the possibility of heart diseases than fat around the hips.
  2. Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high levels of triglycerides mean incredibly irregular levels of blood fat.
  3. Abnormal blood pressure.
  4. Uncharacteristic levels of blood sugar during normal fasting.


Heart Cancer
The second deadliest disease that kills thousands of people within the United States is cancer. Many different varieties of cancer can develop if one‟s overweight or obese. Cancer is common amongst men in the form of colon, rectum and prostrate cancer, while breast, colon, ovary, gallbladder, uterus and cervical cancer are common in women.


Osteoporosis and arthritis
The combination of the two forms is called osteoarthritis which most overweight people suffer from. It‟s a problem of the hips joints, knee joints and lower-back. The weight of the fat puts pressure on the joints, leading to pain.

Gallbladder stones
Overweight people might experience problems like inflamed gallbladders and small gallbladder stones. These small stones generally caused by high cholesterol create abdominal pain and the only available cure is surgery.

Blood sugar or diabetes
Non-insulin diabetes mellitus (also called type-II diabetes) is quite common in the USA. This affects the body by reducing its abilities to control the sugar level in the blood. Obese people are at twice the risk of developing diabetes than people with average BMI. Diabetes cannot be completely cured hence people suffering from it have to stay on a daily dose of medication. This disease can also lead to complications and other health-related problems like blindness, heart problems, strokes and kidney failure amongst a few common ones.

Sleep Apnea
This is another problem related to obesity. People who suffer from sleep apnea stop breathing for short durations while asleep. This commonly leads to sleepiness during the day and often, heart failure.

People who suffer from overweight should avoid junk foods, fatty foods, beef and other greasy or oily foodstuffs. An intake of fresh water, juices and lots of vegetables should be enough to keep severe diseases away and help reduce the weight.

Obesity and problems of overweight are most common in teens and children, increasing the risks to their health. In the US, diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes in children has gone up from a rarity to 45% of brand new diabetes cases in the last few years, making obese children vulnerable to becoming overweight in their adulthood and the related health problems.

Weight loss is important- But Why?
Is weight loss that important? If you want to look good and healthy and lose weight – yes it is! Engage yourself in physical activities, eat healthily or skip meals when ill, but do try and remove all that ugly flab from the body! Here‟s why you should reduce:
