New Delhi: Obesity is normally caused by eating too much and moving too little. That means if you consume more calories-particularly fat and sugars-but don't burn them off through exercise and physical activity, much of that surplus energy will be stored by the body as fat. And due to this excessive weight you may suffer from a variety of diseases.
Besides, stress and tension of modern day hectic life add to the dilemma.
As a result, now a days more and more people are facing the problem of obesity. What is surprising is that even children and youths are becoming the victim of obesity.
But relax! In this report of Dynamite News, we bring you seven special guidelines from country's well-known gastrologist Dr Nivedita Pandey to reduce your weight easily:
1. People often talk about going for dieting to get rid of obesity, but it is not correct. There is no need to diet to lose weight.
2. Although many of you must have resorted to dieting to reduce obesity and even with positive result. But it is also true that as soon as these people began eating normal food, their weight would have started increasing again. That's why dieting is not an effective way to reduce weight.
3. One may ask: Why dieting is not an fruitful way to reduce obesity? To understand this, let's turn to science.
4. A lot of scientific research has been done on obesity, weight gain, fat, diabetes, heart disease, liver disease etc. All these conditions are very complex. And for this, our environment and our genes are very important.

5. To understand this concept, we must know about Thrifty Gene found in the body. It is a kind of protective gene. Thrifty gene is a big mechanism system of the body. In earlier times, when people got a lot of food at one go, they used to eat aall of it. Sometimes they did not get food for many days. In the event of getting more food, this gene would convert the excess food into fat. In the event of non-availability of food, this fat of the body is converted into the same energy, which is obtained from food. That's all Thrifty Gene does.
6. When you are on diet, Thrifty Gene starts getting scared that next time you may or may not get food and when you come on normal diet, Thrifty Gene starts converting all the food into fat which results in obesity.
7. In fact, dieting does not help reduce obesity. Dieting can have short term benefits but it cannot eliminate obesity in the long term. That's why obesity can be reduced even without dieting.
