Obesity Reviews

Following on from reading Totalserenity's review on the weight issue I wanted to write my own. My opinion may mean nothing to some people, especially as I myself am not overweight. However, what many people fail to forget is the loved ones that have to listen to nasty comments regarding their parents/siblings/partner/friends weight ...  Read the complete review

After having read Hishyeness' truly excellent, open and honest piece about the trials and tribulations of being overweight, I felt inspired to put pen to paper (or should I say finger-pads to keyboard) and create my own piece on the same subject. A very special thanks to Hishyeness for raising this topic in the first place, and to have ...  Read the complete review

After reading a simply superb review on Dooyoo re 'Obesity' I felt compelled to write my own instead of writing a usual product review - some things are more important than the nominal 50p payment - and this is one of them. My own weight problems started in my twenties way back in the 1980's. I married at the age of 22 and ...  Read the complete review

I have spent most of my adult life as a euphemism. Whether it was "Chief", or "Big Fella", "Big Guy" or other altogether less polite forms of address, I was called a variety of things that skirted around the undeniable fact that I was a very fat man. At my heaviest, I tipped the scales at a horrifying 350lbs (25 ...  Read the complete review

Obesity, a word that is been heard more and more often with a rise in obese children and babies. I believe childhood obesity is mainly down to the change in lifestyle for parents, with parents working and not making home made food and fast food, crisps and fizzy drinks playing a great part. Some children are greedy, I know because my 2 ...  Read the complete review

Too Fat To Fly? The growing problem of obesity is I believe linked to something which I feel has a lot to do with how society has changed. I saw An Air Crash Investigation recently called "Too Fat To Fly" about a small shuttle in 1994 which crashed on take off killing all on board. The reason- the passengers were too heavy and ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday I watched the Half Ton Son. The son in question was only 19, but weighed nearly 60 stone. He was almost completely bedridden; his mother waiting on him all day long, bringing him big mac after big mac while he barely moved except to play on his xbox. He was the world's fattest teenager, and was about to go into hospital to ...  Read the complete review

This is going to be the biggest killer of our children's generation. Obesity is defined as being more than about 1st overweight or having a BMI above 29. I think one of the biggest problmes we have these days is not only the vast abundance of food we all have access to and junk food particularly but the lack of activity we have in our ...  Read the complete review

In my view obesity has one main cause and that is overeating. Logically, if you take in more calories than you burn up, then you will become fat and eventually obese. Reducing calorie intake and increasing exercise will decrease weight. This is the plain, simple way that the mechanism works in the vast majority of people. I will admit ...  Read the complete review

We are constantly being told that as a nation we are getting fatter with waistlines expanding and some quite horrendous health problems like diabetis and health disease occurring in people at an ever younger age. Last night I saw part of a programme on toddlers who were clinically obese and for the most part it was noticeable that for ...  Read the complete review

Now where do we start with obesity? (The waste line, lols punny ...  Read the complete review

Obesity in England is definatley on the increase, this i must agree but what i dont think is fair is that the fast food companys and the goverment are being blamed for it. The only person you can blame for being obese is the obese person, no one forced them to eat so much or such a quantity of unhealthy food. The only person ...  Read the complete review

8 years old boy weighs 15 stones. Shocking. In England alone 30,000 deaths are caused by obesity every year. This number is likely to increase in the future. Some more facts related to overweight. In the last quarter of century obese rates have increased by fivefold. 1 in 5 people are obese and 75% are ...  Read the complete review

I’m not going to go into the medical facts – aside from the fact that everyone knows what obesity means I am not a doctor so feel it would be unfair to put all these facts in here. But I do want to give another slant on this and write about how it feels to be obese. I am writing this review from a very personal point of view. I will ...  Read the complete review

Hey fatty bum bum, - remember those lyrics to a song years ago? Cruel taunts like this can make the lives of obese people a misery. There are laws about racist comments, people dislike ageist remarks but calling someone fatty is often dismissed, even though it can be very hurtful. OBESITY What is obesity? It means an excess ...  Read the complete review

It is pretty hard these days to not turn on the television and find some programme highlighting the dangers of obesity amongst the population, you have Jamie Oliver trying to do something about school dinners (although he seems to have been eating a few turkey twizzlers himself lately), fat camp, The Biggest Loser and a host of other shows on a ...  Read the complete review

I have also posted this review on test-and-vote I think it's disgusting that parents feed their children a load of fatty, sugary rubbish, spawning generation after generation of obese people. The majority of fat children will stay fat for their entire lives, they can't enjoy life to the full and are more prone to heart attacks, angina, ...  Read the complete review

The fact is, obesity is the enemy and a cunning one at that. While you are sitting down reading this, your fat stores are attacking your heart and narrowing your arteries, which increases your blood pressure. Your organs too are being infiltrated by “gremlins” padding them so that you find it difficult to breath and hijacking the hormones that ...  Read the complete review
