How To Loose Belly Fat Symptoms of Obesity
Learn how to loose belly fat. Joe needs to consider a gastric band operation, other bariatric surgery or the obesity drug Xenical.
“No matter what diet I try I can't lose weight, my body will not burn fat. I have fasted for over 5 weeks and still nothing.
All that happens is I get yellow watery diarrhoea 10-15 times a day when I do.
I am very over weight and don't know what to do about these symptoms of obesity.
The feeling of helplessness is so depressing. I need to know how to loose belly fat?”
Advice On How To Loose Fat
Joe, your BMI certainly puts you well in to the obesity range and I can understand how depressing this must be for you, particularly as you have been trying so hard to loose weight.
Symptoms of obesity including breathlessness, tiredness, joint problems and many more are so difficult to cope with. As you know, at your current weight, this puts you at increased risk of medical conditions related to obesity such as diabetes; stoke disease, breathing problems and heart disease.
These risks can be significantly reduced if you can loose the weight, but how? Obesity sufferers often wonder if the have a medical condition causing obesity such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or a genetic disorder, but these are unusual in relation to the overall causes of obesity such as excess food in the diet, excessive carbohydrate and fat, lack of exercise and snacking.
You’re at a stage when diets are not working for you and the excessive weight limits your ability to exercise with any real benefit. In this situation, you do need to think about alternative methods of weight loss. But, how to loose belly fat? The obesity drug Orlistat or Xenical and the obesity drug Acomplia might be a way of trying to loose weight. I would suggest you research this as a possibility. They are not without controversy, but there is no doubt that they have been very effective in some people with morbid obesity.
The other alternative would be bariatric surgery. Most people comment on the gastric band operation or gastric stapling surgery, but there are several procedures available to you.
They are not without risk, but you have to weigh up the benefits for yourself against the risks. There is no doubt that doing nothing carries a significant risk to your health as much as the risks of having the surgery. However, you also have to look at the benefits in terms of quality of life to you.
Clearly you outline quite a poor quality of life and maybe considering some of these options may be right for you. Certainly you would need to discuss this with your doctor and only consider specialist bariatric surgery centres.
I hope this helps and good look in your endeavours to loose weight.
