What to do:
1 –Stable diet regime: by being stuck to adjusted quantities of balanced
diet for long time, and it is recommended here that diet
must be moderate and for long time. It is important here to
emphasize that short term diet brings reverse results. In this context, the person is advised
to consume mild amounts of
proteins, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables
at every meal. He should eat four small meals a day, because refrain from eating
for more than 8 hours
encourages fat deposition
2-Use of drugs that reduce
weight, which are classified into two
major groups: first Pharmaceuticals that
reduce the appetite of the patient for the food, and these have serious
side effects like addiction, depression and high blood pressure. the second group prevents the intestines
from absorbing fat. Their side effects
are less harmful, including: diarrhea, soaking of cloths and affecting the
absorption of some
important vitamins for the body, in addition it should
be taken immediately after
the meal or
during it.
3- Liposuction: this is the worst method for
weight loss, firstly because of its danger on human life, as it has a
relatively high mortality ratio. Secondly, its effectiveness is weak as body
weight returns to normal rapidly.
4- Gastric tightening surgery: by resecting out
most of it, stapling it or wrapping it by a band. We refer to this method of
management in cases of BMI more than 44, where conservative methods are
ineffective.
5- Starving for prolonged periods: by starving
for 48 h. or more several times each month. It is also very dangerous; because
the body tissues will degrade(hydrolyze) body fat to acquire their needs of
energy. The waste product of this type of metabolism is toxic and harmful to
liver, kidneys and brain.
