The most important reason why your weight matters is your health.
Excess weight can contribute to many serious health issues including obesity, heart disease, and diabetes:
More than 50 health problems are linked to having obesity. These health problems are diseases and conditions that decrease your quality of life and include type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis and many others.
Health Issues
Heart Disease
Lipid levels in your blood can lead to accumulated arterial plaques, resulting in heart attacks and strokes. Heart disease is the number one cause of death for Americans.
Type 2 Diabetes
Excess abdominal weight can lead to insulin resistance, in turn high blood sugar, which can damage your kidneys and more.
High Blood Pressure
Your heart has to work harder to pump through your body, leading to additional cardiovascular concerns.
Osteoarthritis
Back and joint pain can result from having excess weight - impairing your mobility - but could also lead to physical damage to these areas.

Starvation-inducing diets du jour aren’t the way to a better body. What matters most is eating healthy, exercise and lifestyle choices.
There are tricks you can learn to help you along the way. Today, we look at the Japanese concept of Hara Hachi Bu. It’s not a fad diet concept, but merely a way to gauge how much food you are putting into your body.
This idea that originates in Okinawa, Japan -- where the average person mainly consumes lean meats, healthy vegetables, soy foods, fruits and whole grains -- is to eat until you feel that you are 80% full.
Your stomach takes about 20 minutes to register that it is “full,” so it’s a great strategy to eat slowly and stop once you start to feel somewhat full. Think you’re still hungry? Wait a half hour to see if you're still hungry, but usually your stomach will be satisfied.
Because of a healthy diet rich in anti-oxidants, Okinawans have 80% lower rates of heart disease and 50-80% lesser chance of breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancer compared to Americans.
Healthy Eating Tip
If you struggle with figuring out when your body is 80% full, try taking away 20% the amount of food you would normally eat.

People are lined up to get through the gate and the agent needs to stamp each passport before the holder can continue.
The agent can only process each passport one at a time so each person in line has to wait until their turn. As planes arrive more people appear in line and the agent keeps stamping one at a time, on and on.
Imagine your body’s metabolism is the passport agent, and the calories you eat are waiting in line to be burned.
Your metabolism has limits and can only burn off so much at a time - all day and night long - your metabolic rate can only go so fast.
Your metabolism has limits and can only burn off so much at a time - all day and night long - your metabolic rate can only go so fast.
Eating more calories means more time - longer lines - more time to process the food until it's all gone. So here calories are real not some meaningless number. Anything you eat will make the calorie burning line longer.
The difference between you and an airport is your body has storage for the calories. When you’re able to reduce caloric intake enough, your body senses this deficit and starts to burn the stored fat calories instead.
That’s why fitness has limits too. You can’t significantly boost your metabolism to burn calories faster. But you can shorten the weight loss line by curbing your appetite to make your body burn fat instead of food (by virtue of the food not being there!)
You may be curious about the calorie limit prescribed for you. Now you may understand why. You need fewer people in line to empty the passport waiting room!

You maybe surprised to learn how your body eliminates fat. It’s a far easier proposition than you may expect, however the catch is the rate at which your body can do this is the key.
Thus your body can only remove so much fat in time (see carbon calculator below). This can be helpful when planning your meals and weight loss regimen.
The Simple Science of Metabolism
Are you suprised? The way your body eliminates fat is via your lungs! The CO2 you exhale is how — the carbon of carbon dioxide comes from the food you eat. So how can we make more sense of this?
Every carbohydrate you digest and nearly all the fats are converted to carbon dioxide and water. The same goes for alcohol.
Protein shares the same fate, except for the small part that turns into urea and other solids, which you excrete as urine.
The only thing in food that makes it to your colon undigested and intact is dietary [fiber] Everything else you swallow is absorbed into your bloodstream and organs and, after that, it’s not going anywhere until you’ve [exhaled] it.
Watch and Learn
When you lose 10 kg, 8.4 kg comes out of your lungs [exhaled as CO2] and 1.6 kg comes out as water.

Common pitfalls include distracted eating, eating mindlessly while at work or play, and eating too quickly, not giving your body and mind the time to process consciously and to digest properly.
During my initial appointment with Dr. Aaron, she conducted blood tests to determine the most suitable medication for me. I am thankful for Dr. Aaron, as I chose to embark on this weight loss journey with her on April 6th. Today, June 1st, I had my weigh-in and have lost 20 pounds so far. The key to Dr. Aaron's program is consistency in drinking water, exercising at least 3 to 4 times per week, and consuming 800 calories daily. I truly appreciate Dr. Aaron and am grateful for her guidance.
No two human bodies are alike. What is proper diet and exercise for one person is not necessarily so for another. Dr. Aron's Weight Loss Program addresses the specific needs for each individual patient.
I’ve tried Weight Watchers. I’ve done the Keto diet and just about every diet out there and I couldn’t lose the amount of weight I needed to lose. I decided to go to Dr Aron and it’s truly a blessing for me. I saw Dr Aron on May 3rd 2024 and my weight was 246 lbs as of today August 7th 2024 I’ve lost 32 lbs. All you have to do is follow the Plan she gives to you. 3 meals a day. 800 hundred calories per day. Exercise 3-4 times a week. Stick to it and you’ll see the scale move every week. I need to lose another 34lbs but I’m confident that with Dr Aron guidance and me doing my part that I will reach my goal. I highly recommend that you try Dr Aron program if you’re struggling to lose weight.
