Obesity is an increasing problem around the globe. All over the world, people are consuming unhealthy foods and becoming subject to obesity.
Especially, in the past 2 years, many medically fit people have become overweight due to the lockdown. Medical fitness and immunity of people have drastically fallen due to it. Obesity comes with a lot of serious medical problems.
This problem needs to be solved. It can be treated by medically guided diet plans and other weight loss programs offered at weight loss clinics.
People usually don’t care about it when they’re starting to fatten up. The reason is that a diet plan is very difficult to be regularly followed. Medically speaking, a BMI of 30kg/m2 means that you are obese.
