The latest figures published this month in the journal Lancet, show that between 1980 and 2008, the global average body mass index (BMI) has increased each decade by 0.4 kg/m2 in men and 0 5 kg/m2 in women. The most dramatic increase occurs in Oceania, with countries such as Nauru, which already reach the national average BMI of 34.5, well above the threshold of obesity (30.0 kg/m2). During the first half of last century, this area of the world was a different situation, a fact very important to understand why the original sin of obesity.

One of the influencing factors will be called as ‘original sin’ which, although it did not originate in time as the Bible itself that precedes each of us as individuals and therefore can do nothing about it.

However, often this is not the solution, because if it is true that there must be a negative caloric balance for weight loss, there is no linear relationship between calories and weight loss.

Sometimes we can even achieve the opposite effect; this is due to the way our bodies react when we make such changes. If we cut calories too much, the same is put into “survival” and therefore lowers the metabolism, which may eventually adversely affect weight loss.

Furthermore, sharply reducing calories may cause not only lose weight but also muscle mass and not forgetting also known rebound effect? Because of this it is essential that when we continue to propose that a balanced diet and avoid fad diets.

Because of this, reducing calories does not necessarily mean that we will lose weight. It is advisable to consume no less than 1200 kcal per day in the case of women and 1600 kcal in adult males. The numbers should not be less than this, as a low caloric intake can destabilize the body. Considering these points we can take better care of our health.
