Cancer, type 2 diabetes, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis. Bmi = (weight in kg)/(height in m 2 ) Bmi = [(weight in lb)/(height in in 2 )] x 705. Greater than 30 = obese (three classes of obesity) Genetics: women average higher non-lean tissue than men. Calorie counting: 1 kg fat = 9,000 calories. Lifelong approach: healthy eating, physical activity, social support. Only eat when hungry (frequent, smaller feedings) Make favourite unhealthier foods inconvenient to access. Can be more harmful than helpful to health. Possible precursor to development of eating disorders. Genes: children of obese parents, increased risk of obesity. <2% of obesity caused by endocrine problems. Adaptive thermogenesis: calories = no weight gain. Setpoint theory: body has a weight at which it is comfortable. Emotional needs and focal point of our lives (i. e. socialization)
