First of all we should get whether your weight is normal or not. For this pupose we have a formula , so that everybody and at any suitable for him/her time can calculate his/her body mass index (BMI). What you have to do is to measure your height and weight. Then you have to use the next formula :

For example my weight is 100 kilogrammes and my height is 190 centimetres. I am taking 190 centimetres and converting it in metres. It will be 1.9 metres. We have to raise 1.9 metres to the second power. It will be 1.9 2 = 3.61 metres 2. So , my body mass index will be 100 / 3.61= 27.7 . Now you should have a look at this table :

So , you see that my body mass index conforms to an overweight category. You can’t say – “ Oh it’s almost normal it won’t hurt me. I won’t bother about it.”. And you are not right. You have to be on a diet. Normal means normal but not approximately normal or about normal or what not.
Now, let’s see what you have to do if your body mass index corresponds to Obese Class I, II, III. Obesity is a medical condition which is characterized by such a body mass level which can cause not only decreasing of a life expectancy but can even cause a serious diseases. And also it is chronic condition. People with an obesity usually suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Why ? An overweight causes higher workload of a heart muscle.
So , a treatment of an obesity includes :
- Correction of a behavior stereotype.
- Low-calorie diet.
- Drug therapy.
- Surgical correction.
The most effective way of treatment is a surgical correction. There are a lot of types of gastroplasty. Sometimes results are absolutely amazing , about 30 – 40 kilogrammes of lost weight. The indications for use of a surgical correction are an obesity of II,III classes. In other categories you should use the first three ways of treatment. But everything depends on your individual peculiarities. I mean that it is possible that you have an obesity of a I class but it causes such a hurt for your organism that a surgical correction is necessary. Obesity is a serious state and you should take care of it as quickly as it is possible.
