Obesity is a condition that is characterized by an excessive accumulation of fatty tissue in the body. There is a risk that the weight will continue to increase and thus obesity (obesity) can arise from being overweight. The higher your weight, the higher your body mass index and thus the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, high blood pressure and other diseases due to excess weight alone. If you lose weight and have a normal weight again, which corresponds to your comfortable weight, you lower the health risks and you can positively influence diseases, if they already exist, through weight loss alone, possibly even disappear completely.

Why is nutritional therapy important?

Nutritional therapy supports you in positively influencing your health by reducing your weight and keeping it long-term. A complete diet under the supervision of a certified nutritionist can lead to your success by adapting the nutrition plan to your current weight & commonly defined goals for weight loss.

The aim is to supply all of the fatty acids, micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that are important to you, energy and protein in the measure that your body is optimally supplied with. For this purpose, foods that promote inflammation are specifically avoided and plenty of anti-inflammatory foods are consumed.

Definition and classification of overweight (pre-obesity) and obesity

Obesity is defined as an increase in body fat that is above normal. The basis for calculating the weight classification is the BMI. It is the quotient of weight and height squared (kg / m²). Overweight is defined as a BMI ≥ 25 kg / m2, obesity as a BMI ≥ 30 kg / m2  (WHO, 2000EK IV).

 

BMI and interpretation: BMI: body mass index

Formula: Body weight in kg : (body height in m) 2

Underweight: <18.5

Normal weight: 18.5 - 24.9

Overweight = pre-obesity: 25-29.9

Obesity grade I: 30 - 34.9

Obesity grade II: 35-39.9

Obesity grade III:> 40 = per magna

Children's obesity classification from> 97th percentile

Waist circumference in cm & interpretation:

Risk of Metabolic and Cardiovascular Complications:

Men (increased risk ≥ 94 cm, significantly increased risk (102 cm)

Women (increased risk ≥ 80 cm, significantly increased risk (88 cm)

Fat distribution pattern: "apple type" or so-called "pear type"
