Obesity in its own right is a huge problem these days there may be some countries that don’t have it, but most developed countries such as the United States and United Kingdom, do have their own obesity problems. Western lifestyles it would seem are the underlying reasons for it, the basic assumption for this is that you eat too much food or the wrong foods and you become fat.

It would seem it would seem that there are some misconceptions when it comes to understanding this, and they can be more underlying reasons as to why someone may be obese or not, we tend to say and think that person eats too much so therefore they are overweight.

But some people can eat what they want and never seem to put on any weight whatsoever.

Here are some things that are worth considering about this particular problem.

• Lack of sleep (insomnia) studies have shown that a lack of sleep can in fact
   affect if you will or will not lose weight, also you may suffer from depression and low self-esteem.
• Caffeine will ramp up the production of cortisol which is the stress hormone, which as we well know produces the flight or fight response within our bodies and caffeine tends to lower your threshold to stress so you cannot handle it as well.
• Too much stress can make you overeat studies were done at a psychiatric institute that proved that when you’re stressed that you will eat more food.
• The psychological factors, people tend to eat food when they are bored stressed or for any other emotional reasons the association between the food and the emotion becomes that strong it’s almost automatic you don’t even have to think about it this is the basis for many addictions whether it be alcoholism, smoking, overspending there is always some root cause but because it’s an unconscious process you don’t tend to think about it.

Would you say yourself that some of these listed true I would be very interested in your comments on this.
