Obesity

It’s terrible to be fat. Most people are trying to lose weight, at least the patients that I see. There are a few individuals that aresvelte, but they are in the minority. Forty percent of adults and 19 % of children are now obese and with these numbers more than 50% of today’s children will be obese by the time they are 35 years of age. This is very striking data and the major reason that diabetes type 2 is on the rise. It is of course genetic in many families, but also the result of obesity and our bad diets.
