Overweight and obesity are very common and serious conditions that widely raise concerns about how to lose weight. Overweight and obesity are characterized by excessive amount of body fat and increase in size. Generally, obesity results from inherited factors combined with the environment and personal diet and exercise choices. These conditions increase your risk of various health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers as well as metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, and sleep disorders, so weight loss options should be considered to address the obesity issue. Obesity is diagnosed when your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. The body mass index is determined by dividing your weight in pounds by your height in inches squared and multiply by 703. Alternatively, BMI can be calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared.
