A lot of people are using some of correct medical methods and others are using popular recipes.

Before we begin our conversation about obesity at all do not recommend the use of laxatives and diuretics and the use of the popular recipes such as drinking boiled parsley, drinking boiled carrots in order to lose weight it is harmful to the body if used frequently because it will lead to the decrease in salts and minerals.


Obesity in women: Obesity in women is generally not on the side of risk as it is in men there is a woman's natural willingness to increase its weight, due to female hormones that help the deposition of fat in   some areas of the body,Also partly due to the presence of a layer of insulating fat under the skin to prevent the women's body temperature, leading to the reduction of combustion

But when we consider a person obese? What is the exact scale?
So that we can say that this person is obese, that person is thin, and what is the ideal weight
The outlook for the body tells us, but we need an accurate scale is considered 
And a better standard of obesity and thin is the body mass index "" BMI Body mass " index is calculated as follows:
"Weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters"

And have body mass index measurements in one of the following
