Overweight is not always the result of uncontrolled food consumption. This myth has fuelled the demand for magic slimming pills and dangerous low-calorie diets for years. Obesity is an SOS signal from our body about a multifactorial disease. Type 2 diabetes, hormonal imbalance, kidney disease, chronic stress, heredity - these are just a few of the reasons that can cause problems with excess weight. Calorie restriction and heavy training are definitely not the answer to being overweight.

Why our attempts to prevent it have been doomed to failure, and most importantly, what simple steps people with weight problems can take to overcome obesity and stay healthy.
