While obesity stats might be shocking, the good news is that there is still time to do something about it.

Here, we get clear on the obesity statistics and share how 121 Dietitian has been successfully helping patients to lose weight for good.

A person with obesity (BMI – Body Mass Index of 30 and above) is:

  • 6 times more likely to develop high blood pressure
  • 4 times more likely to develop diabetes
  • 2 times more likely to develop arthritis
  • 6 times more likely to suffer gall bladder disease
  • More likely to be infertile
  • More likely to suffer from back and joint problems
  • More likely to have problems with asthma exacerbated
  • Increased risk of suffering depression
  • More likely to suffer sleep problems such as sleep apnoea
  • Increased risk of heart problems and stroke
  • And have a shortened lifespan (1 in every 11 deaths in the UK is linked to obesity related problems)
  • More likely to have nutritional deficiencies

Reverse these obesity statistics

This is not a scare tactic message, but rather, we feel, an important message to highlight the negative health implications associated with obesity that we treat every day. It may surprise you to know that many of the men and women who come to our clinics are unaware of the risks associated with obesity. When informed they are so grateful they could do something about it before their problems became irreversible.

If you wish to reverse the risks as mentioned above, the good news is something can be done. Losing weight and lowering your BMI (body mass index) to normal or lower levels, or with a 5-10% reduction in weight as a starting point will significantly reduce your likelihood of developing these potentially serious medical conditions. Significant weight loss can resolve many pre-existing conditions associated with obesity.

Of course there are also many, many psychological benefits in losing excess weight. People become more confident, feel less isolated, feel more attractive and feel more assertive as well as the obvious benefits associated with feeling healthy like a new wardrobe!
