I wrote Physics in the human body. Lose weight for good and although I helped thousands of people. There a lot of people who follow people of masterchef or follow diets without sense like water with lemon. If it´s a big problem why people dont search for good books?
For example million of people follow con diets or follow any youtubers and dont´t read serious works in this subject. The people must know that there are solution for obesity but they dont investigate the resources.
Thank you for your answers. I dont understand why they only read masterchefs or books with no sense diets and dont read my book physics of the human body. Maybe they are afraid of physics and they prefer read book of masterche style.
Many people do not understand that obesity is a health problem because so much emphasis is often placed on outward physical appearance. It is true that obesity prevents the human body to function in an orderly and efficient manner. For instance, obesity is a leading cause of heart disease and poor circulation, which then result in heart attacks and strokes. Obesity makes it harder for individuals to get the proper amount of exercise, which, combined with overeating or indulging in too many sweets and high carbohydrates, starts a vicious cycle. Not only is the incentive to exercise diminished, but also when obese persons do try to perform strenuous physical activities, whether exercise or participation in sports, the body is over-taxed, and too much of this wrong kind of stress leads to chronic health problems and even disease.
During the novel COVID-19 pandemic, moreover, obesity is a leading cause for people to contract the disease because the body already was stressed by having to work under the added stress caused by a negative ratio of body weight to the added amount of extra energy required in order to perform normal tasks of daily living. Thus obesity lowers the ability of the body's immune system to devote full attention to defending against the opportunistic invasion of the virus. If the body is kept too busy trying to support the overweight obese body, then, it does not have any reserves, which are necessary when the body is under threat of an invasion by destructive viral agents.
Public health education is underestimated by most peoples and nations because places where people are starving and where there are catastrophic meteorological events are regarded as being emergencies. In other words, in regions of the world where food supplies are adequate or plentiful, it is a matter of each and every individual's responsibility to control their food intake. People have freedom to pick and choose, or, unfortunately, to over-indulge in food-intake. But if there is little or no food, then the issue involves societal moral and ethical responsibility to take action in order to prevent people from dying of starvation.
Usually, the problem of scarcity and starvation involves entire villages, communities, nations, and regions. It is a collective problem involving hundreds of people. In contrast, obesity is considered to be more of a personal problem and to try to intervene might even be considered an attempt to disrespect a person's privacy and freedom of choice. For these reasons, I agree that it is a good idea to enable people, whether obese or not, to have access to authentic books on proper eating habits, healthful foods, and even understandable books about how the body functions optimally when well fed, but not to the extreme limit of obesity, when the situation can very quickly shift from good to not-so-good.
Whenever people go on a special diet, especially to restore the body to good health by eliminating obesity, it is strongly advisable to begin to having a checkup examination at a doctor's office and to see a health professional on a regularly scheduled basis. Since obesity is a very serious condition that puts people's health at risk, it is best to go on a diet that is approved specifically for each individual. Sudden loss of weight is not good for anybody. A gradual decline is best because a gain-and-loss-and-gain-and-loss pattern is not helpful either. Stability within a normalized pattern promotes good health and requires less stress when a healthy diet becomes a matter of course and part of an overall customary daily routine one maintains automatically.
Best regards and best wishes.
The problem with overweight people, some of them, is their desire is to become someone else, instantly. To accomplish this impossibility, they attempt to make physical changes with diets that are sometimes dangerous and on which weight loss, although occurring quickly, reverses immediately after the diet is stopped. Their need is a psychiatric one. It must be addressed before they try any physical 'fix.' As with most people who have addiction issues, they must admit the issue exists and accept themselves as merely flawed, just like the rest of us. If weight loss is truly necessary, they can make a more rational decision about remedy. One that isn't only lemon water or only boiled chicken and raw carrots, or any of the other ridiculous diets out there. This is a personal opinion, not a professional, and by no means an expert one.
When dealing with overweight and obesity, we need to know the exact cause of this situation. Obesity is mainly resulted from infectious diseases, and has nothing to do with one's heredity or genes. It is the side effect of our immune system in fighting the pathogens. Our immunity kills the invading microorganisms like viruses and bacteria, and turns them into nutrients for the use of our body, a situation termed as infectobesity:
Article Infectobesity: Obesity of Infectious Origin
Because of this, obesity in healthy individual is actually protective, and there is no urgent need to take any preventive actions against obesity.
Also, we need to make clear distinction between obesity and morbid obesity. Different types of fats inside our body contribute to our health or disease differently. Subcutaneous fats are normally harmless and may even protect against some diseases, and this fats are the main contributor of one's BMI. Visceral fat is fat that surrounds the organs, small amount of visceral fats are protective to the organ. Though it is not visible from the outside, excessive visceral fats are associated with numerous diseases. Ectopic fat is the storage of triglycerides in tissues other than adipose tissue, that are supposed to contain only small amounts of fat, such as the liver, skeletal muscle, heart, and pancreas. These fats can interfere with cellular functions and hence organ function and is associated with insulin resistance in type-2 diabetes. It is stored in relatively high amounts around the organs of the abdominal cavity, but is not to be confused with visceral fat. The most dangerous fats are the ectopic fats, but they are not proportionally related to one's overweight or obesity.
Only morbid obesity, i.e., obesity with metabolic syndromes, need to be treated urgently. For healthy individual, any action to reverse obesity, like dieting or physical activity, actually leads to more fat deposition in long term, and quickens his pace to morbid obesity:
Book Dieting Makes You Fat
For healthy overweight or mild obese individuals, there is no point to ask them to lose weight:
Article Why there's no point telling me to lose weight
https://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.g6845
Yet, for morbidly obese individuals, i.e., obese individuals with metabolic syndromes, their ectopic fats are un-proportionately high, then there is an urgent need for these to lose weight to an BMI around 20 by strict dieting and maintenance at this ideal weight to avoid morbid obesity and related metabolic syndromes. Healthy weight loss needs some effort and strategies, but it is not as hard as most of the doctors suggest.
Thank you for your answers. I dont understand why they only read masterchefs or books with no sense diets and dont read my book physics of the human body. Maybe they are afraid of physics and they prefer read book of masterche style.
Major drawback with Overweight, affect respiratory system severely. Living style and over eating are main reasons for obesity.
Your book probably does not seem like the easy solution which they seek. It is noble goal, a desire to help, but dieters usually want instant gratification, hence the lemon water.
You are wrong my book is the easiest form with less effort that you can found. Also works perfectly because it´s based on physics laws. But they are afraid of the word Physics. We have a silly civilization some times.
That book was peer review and acepted by the journal of obesity and the true havent too much succes. But now I have a project about prime numbers that is preprint and it´s going viral although the prime number havent real aplications. What are oor priorities?
Pedro Hugo García Peláez ,
Your discussion thread question asks "What is the problem with obesity?" Your interest in finding out the answer to this question is, evidently, motivated by another question, which has to do with why people would rather read books written by master chefs than books that are written from a physics point of view which has the purpose of helping people to understand how the human body works and why obesity is not good for it.
Did you already know that the number one genre of books that sell = cookbooks. It seems that humanity in the modern epoch of industrialization prioritizes productivity, which means quantity over quality. The modern epoch is also one that is materialistic, not idealistic. Thirdly, consumerism is the order of the day.
Another aspect of human society is an undertow of anti-intellectualism, whereby high brow culture, which values knowledge of the arts and sciences, has steadily lost ground to popular culture. I hasten to add that scientists, such as you, are making science more palatable. Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking wrote books that helped the general public to appreciate and better understand modern science. Have you seen any of their books? They are marketed differently from standard science books. Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking proactively promoted their books with the result that their role as scientists was eclipsed by their activism and celebrity. Most scientists avoid the limelight because they concentrate on their pursuit of science and they are motivated generally by the idea that the fruits of their labors will benefit humankind in the long haul.
Throughout the academic world, workers in the arts and sciences focus on their work, purely and simply. This academic emphasis on research and achievement of work goals is most appropriately represented in the form of journal articles written by scientists for scientists. Book publication automatically involves a larger audience that encompasses non-specialists, which usually does not mean scientists in adjacent or different fields, but, instead, the general reading public. When an expert in a field in the arts and sciences attempts to communicate directly with the public, either in the form of a magazine article or a commercial book designed for a general reading audience, this is a significant action that may be described as a crossing of boundaries.
A principle in technical and professional writing requires a writer to address a particular audience. Scientists write for scientists using highly specialized language and terminology. A scientist who wishes to write for lay persons needs to change-over, from using scientific terminology to expressing substantial content in "watered-down" language that would probably be deemed unacceptable for publication in a journal. You are right in saying that even the very word "physics" tends to be unattractive to a non-science-oriented readership, which would much rather purchase or check-out from the library armloads of cookbooks! Another loaded word is "obesity," which sounds harsh. I would say that you did rather well in, as you say, helping "thousands of people"! Congrats.
It´s a good point of view @Nancy Ann Watanabe I am detecting than my book is reading in proportion more by researches than by common people who are really who need to read the book to improve his health.

Dear Pedro Hugo García Peláez , I have got chance to read your great book for several times:
Book Physics of the Human Body Lose Weight for Good
Maybe I can provide some personal views after my reading. No doubt that swimming is a excellent exercise to keep a person fit. And to a person knows how to swim, everything is simple, straightforward, and almost effortless. But swimming has a lot of tacit knowledge which can only be grasped by practice, and is impossible to transfer to a non-swimmer like me.
The same applies to weight loss and maintenance. To some persons, it is very simple. But there are a lot of tacit knowledge behind the simple practice. The most influential historical health book should be "The Art of Living Long" by Luigi Cornaro (1464-1566):
http://hdl.handle.net/2027/nnc2.ark:/13960/t1sf3j34q
His diet was very simple: 350g of food (including bread, egg yolk, meat, and soup) and 414 mL of wine daily. But most of the people will find such diet is impossible to follow. And our task is to make these tacit knowledge as explicit as possible.
I said, it does not seem to be an easy fix. It may be a wonderful book with a simple and effective method to help, but your target audience, in many instances, will read that title and move to the next selection on the list. You know, the nothing but water, potato chips and celery diet, or whatever.
Thank you @ Ligen Yu is a honour for me to have you recognition.
Best regards

Obesity in childhood can add up to health problems—often for life. In adults, overweight and obesity are linked to increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes (high blood sugar), high blood pressure, certain cancers, and other chronic conditions.
Obesity is serious because it is associated with poorer mental health outcomes and reduced quality of life. Obesity is also associated with the leading causes of death in the United States and worldwide, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.
Obesity can lead to All-causes of death (mortality)
High blood pressure (Hypertension)
High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides (Dyslipidemia)
Type 2 diabetes
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Gallbladder disease
Osteoarthritis (a breakdown of cartilage and bone within a joint)
Sleep apnea and breathing problems
Many types of cancerexternal icon
Low quality of life
Mental illness such as clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders4,5
Body pain and difficulty with physical functioning
People with obesity are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems, including:
Heart disease and strokes. Obesity makes you more likely to have high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol levels, which are risk factors for heart disease and strokes.
.https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/obesity/symptoms-causes/syc-20375742
Type 2 diabetes. Obesity can affect the way your body uses insulin to control blood sugar levels. This raises your risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.
Certain cancers. Obesity may increase your risk of cancer of the uterus, cervix, endometrium, ovary, breast, colon, rectum, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney and prostate.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/obesity/symptoms-causes/syc-20375742
Obesity can diminish your overall quality of life. You may not be able to do things you used to do, such as participating in enjoyable activities. You may avoid public places. People with obesity may even encounter discrimination.
Other weight-related issues that may affect your quality of life include:
Depression
Disability
Sexual problems
Shame and guilt
Social isolation
Lower work achievement
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/obesity/symptoms-causes/syc-20375742
Digestive problems. Obesity increases the likelihood that you'll develop heartburn, gallbladder disease and liver problems.
Gynecological and sexual problems. Obesity may cause infertility and irregular periods in women. Obesity also can cause erectile dysfunction in men.
Sleep apnea. People with obesity are more likely to have sleep apnea, a potentially serious disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
Osteoarthritis. Obesity increases the stress placed on weight-bearing joints, in addition to promoting inflammation within the body. These factors may lead to complications such as osteoarthritis.

Stigma is a fundamental cause of health inequalities, and obesity stigma is associated with significant physiological and psychological consequences, including increased depression, anxiety and decreased self-esteem. It can also lead to disordered eating, avoidance of physical activity and avoidance of medical care. https://www.euro.who.int/en/health-topics/noncommunicable-diseases/mental-health/news/news/2017/10/world-obesity-day-understanding-the-social-consequences-of-obesity
Interesting point of Chinaza the people who follow my method increase his self-esteem from the first day although the results come in the second or third day.
Thank you for your answer.

Human body is built on normality, anything above or below it is not good
Yes Hani Attar that it´s what I describe in my book every part of our body moves in the same direction with the same speed, from big parts of our body to the atoms that built our body.
A lot of problems including looking ugly ..improper movement ...diabetics in most cases ...
