If you read this page because in your mind you feel inadequate and obese even
if this is not true, then it could be a problem of anorexia; so look for
>> anorexia
Given that they are incorrect statements to base a diet only on a type of food,
for example, talk about the diet of watermelon, banana, papaya etc.
What, however, is a serious diet and how should it be calculated?
Let's start with the stressed concept of overweight and obesity.
There are 3 definitions:
-
a physiological one, for which it's said that a subject is obese if he has an
increase in fat mass more than 25% if a man, more than 20% if a woman;
- a
psycho-social one, that is the belief that being "skinny" is beautiful and sexy;
- a medical one, for which the normal weight is the one that allows us to live
better and longer (eg without back pain, without excessive load on an arthritic
knee, etc.), far from cardiovasculometabolic complications.
There is a table of Quetelet or Body Mass Index (I.M.C.) which is calculated as follows:
weight / height in meters 2
The I.M.C. it must be <a 25 for the man and <a 20 for the woman; who is between
25-30 is overweight, who exceeds the value of 30 or even 40 is obese.
For example. the webmaster of this website weighs 95 kg and is 1,78 high therefore
(95 / 1,782 ) = (95/ 3,1684) = 29,983 (weighed 95 !! .. for which he is
almost overweight pushed ! But it is not meat that matters; it is the spirit
that is strong!
Another classification of obesity causes it to be subdivided into
a) central or android or abdominal
b) peripheral, gynoid or hips;
It gets fat because there are hereditary factors, wrong eating behaviors that are acquired in childhood, mothers and overprotective fathers who swallow you, or because you have predisposition to diabetes and there is more insulinemia in the bloodstream, for endocrine disorders and ovary (eg women with hirsutism and fuzz on the face, hump, lunar facies etc.)
You must compare
causes of obesity and
hormonal imbalances or obesity and mental illness
Let us always remember that it is your doctor who prescribes a diet. This
scientific article is only a reading
In this website can find diets for all the most important diseases, for example
the diet for the diabetic patient, and how to calculate the insulin in the diabetic type 1,
what foods you must choose in diabetes on the basis of the
glycemic index. and how to develop a diabetes diet and calculate insulin units
and food substitutions in the diabetic diet. We still talk about the diet for
the patient with the dyslipidemia (diet for high cholesterol and triglycerides),
or the water diet (The diet with the right water, mineral, minerals, laxatives,
etc.) and if drinking a lot of water is always good (water poisoning)
Before starting a diet, you need to investigate if there are any problems at the base
of your obesity, for example if you are becoming diabetic and have
hyperinsulinemia, if your belly is increasing or your hips and your parents were
diabetic, if you are having hair on the body, or if you're more tired lately and
your feet are swollen, if you're urinating less. In these cases think of
diabetes, think of hormonal diseases, think of heart diseases and talk to your
doctor.
- Inheritance: 69% of the obese have an obese parent, 18% both;
- Environment: hyper-nutrition increases the mass of adipocytes (fat cells);
- Food behavior: ex. bulimia, hunger from ox, eat often, munch on sweet things
and chocolate because you are depressed, snacks out of hours etc.
- Tendency to type 2 diabetes: between 25 and 50% of obese subjects tend to
hyperinsulinemia and obesity and hypoglycemic crises, so it is always hungry
- Other endocrine disorders: thyroid (see Thyroid: introductory part The Thyroid:
diseases associated with hyper and hypothyroidism) and the adrenal gland,
ovarian disorders, excess of male hormones in women, so the weight is
distributed as for man on belly!
- iatrogenic obesity: when the doctor prescribes a diet, and then the patient,
after the diet, spontaneously resumes feeding before !!
Balance: the assessment of circulatory, respiratory, joint, coxarthrosis,
gonarthrosis, improve after diet therapy, the value of triglyceride and the
LDL cholesterol is reduced, the same for value of uric acid.
The survey should allow the doctor to know the eating habits of the subject,
then assess the initial calorie level, which is subtracted from the diet and is
divided by nine, to obtain the value of weight reduction.
Eg. Who writes every day takes about 2000 Kcal, assuming that it's necessary
a diet of 1000
Kcal/day to lose weight, then when will it be able to lose weight in a day?
>2000 - 1000/9 = 111.11 grams
in fact 9 Kcal is equivalent to the energy value that gives 1 gram of fat when
it burns
However, this is not always the case, because slowly the body is rearranged,
absorbs more, metabolizes better and the weight is reduced less. Even in the
course of 5-9 years we recover the lost weight and even get fat! Fortunately,
there are foods called functional foods that help you. These include soy
lecithin and green tea products, as well as calcium based preparations that make
the weight gain. It goes without saying that in the meantime you have to move
and change your >>
lifestyle.
However, if a guy weighs 100 kg and must lose weight for 20 kg, ie reach 80 kg of
weight, and initially takes 2200 Kcal in a day, another empirical formula is used:
calculate the value in calories to be administered by multiplying 20 Kcal x
weight to reduce, such as in the example:
2200 - (20 Kcal X 20 kg of weight to lose) = 1800 Kcal
From this concept we start to build the diet that must always be balanced, ie contain
all the food principles, eg. 50-60% carbohydrates, 25-30% proteins and the rest
in lipids, better if polyunsaturated oils (eg sunflower oil, olive oil) as they
improve the catabolism of lipids (lipids). It is also advisable for the patient
to take 500 mg / day of calcium, especially if he is losing weight because he
could have osteoporosis and overweight pain, and he must take a polyvitamin complex.
Diabetes is also controlled by diet as well as by drugs, insulin and oral
hypoglycemic agents.

She is a typical girl figure who thinks she is fat and thinks she has to lose
weight. It's a voluntary reduction of food intake
while the feeling of hunger is preserved for longer. Social activity (school and
sports) is maintained. It's a psychological disease due to conflict with parents,
rejection of one's own femininity, unreasonable fear of obesity. Sometimes it is
associated with bulimia.
Amenorrhea (lack of the cycle) is constant, and the subject at the cost of
losing weight gets used to vomit, to use strong laxatives, diuretics, etc. The
doctor proceeds with investigations aimed at evaluating the gonadal functions,
the level of estrogens and progestogens, FSH.
Progressive and planned re-training in agreement with the therapist who,
initially, with health authority imposes stages in the re-establishment of the
subject; in the most difficult cases the re-feeding with gastric tube can be
indicated, with mixtures of amino acids that go above 2000 Kcal and must be
hypoproteic, not exceeding 75 and 100 grams.
All this is associated with psychoanalytic or family and behavioral
psychotherapy.
