Obesity Risks

I want to be healthy, but everybody has to eat to live.

 There is a difference between eating to live and living to eat. With few exceptions, obesity is related to taking in more calories than are used up during the day. Studies have looked at participants with differing eating habits and measured them against their BMI (body mass index). Researchers used a BMI of 30 or greater—a standard criterion for clinical obesity. Results showed that about one third of meat eaters were clinically obese, about one fourth of semi-vegetarians were clinically obese, slightly less than one fifth of Pesco-vegetarians and lacto-ovo vegetarians were clinically obese, and one tenth of vegans were clinically obese. There was some similarity in the total average caloric intake among these four groups but a huge difference in the types of foods and beverages that were being ingested. Add to what they ate, when they ate it and how long it took to finish a meal and it’s fairly easy to figure out their risk for obesity.
