Overweight and obesity are both labels for ranges of weight that are greater than what is generally considered healthy for a given height. The terms also identify ranges of weight that have been shown to increase the likelihood of certain diseases and other health problems.
According to the CDC:
“For adults, overweight and obesity ranges are determined by using weight and height to calculate a number called the “body mass index” (BMI). BMI is used because, for most people, it correlates with their amount of body fat.”
- An adult who has a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.
- An adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
But it’s important to note, that BMI isn’t always an accurate indicator if someone is overweight or obese especially if someone is muscular.
The good news is there are 3 steps to treat obesity naturally which include starting on a healthy diet, doing weekly exercise and using natural supplements.
Top Foods for Obesity Diet
Here are the top foods someone should consume to overcome obesity:
High fiber foods – High fiber foods like vegetables, nuts, seeds, and berries increase satiety, without increasing calories.
Clean lean protein – People who eat at least 3-4 ounces of protein per meal tend to feel more satisfied and eat less overall.
Wild-caught fish – Obesity may increase inflammation, so try to include omega-3 fats.
Coconut – Coconut oil and coconut milk contain MCFAs that your body can easily burn as fat and are less likely to be stored as fat compared to other fats.
Small meals – Avoid getting too hungry that can cause you to overeat later, eat about every 4 hours.
