People who are obese are at risk of various types of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory problems, fatty liver disease, bladder disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, PCOD, infertility, as well as arthritis.

Therefore, obesity, like any other disease, needs to be treated according to the level and severity of the disease. Overweight and obesity are classified in terms of BMI or body mass index.

When a person's BMI is between 23.5 and 27.5, it is considered in the overweight category. It is recommended that such individuals develop good eating habits and improve their lifestyle. Proper dietary changes under the supervision of a dietitian can usually result in weight loss of 0.5 to 1 kg per week.
