What is Obesity?
Obesity indicates abnormal physiology where there is a surplus intake of energy resulting in elevated body weight, the set point of which is now dysfunctional. A mismatch of 3% can lead to up to 1-2kg of weight gain per year. Our body weight is tightly regulated by a complex homeostasis where deviation from the set point triggers a compensatory response in the opposite direction trying to restore this set point. This compensatory response can persist for years further predisposing an individual to further weight regain beyond the initial weight loss. - 02
