Why it is wrong to label obesity as lazy and people fat shamed?

Obesity can be attributed to many things, from metabolism to hormones but the true underlying issue is our basic human instinct to eat.

No longer do we have to fight our way to a meal, being either predator or prey. 

Supermarkets have replaced our food sources but have not suppressed our innate drive to eat. 

In our most recent Lipotrim UK blog we have discussed these diet issues and why it is instead lazy to perpetuate the mantra "eat less and exercise more".

With a different approach, taking full consideration to the fact that 40 million UK adults can't just be lazy, we can tackle obesity properly.

LAZY? FAT SHAMING WON’T GET WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS.

Reducing the covid19 death risk - the role of rapid weight loss

The coronavirus has caused massive disruption throughout 2020.

We are finally seeing a slow return to a new normal, however, covid19 is still killing many people in the UK and worldwide.

The long-term effects of this pandemic are unknown but emerging coronavirus data is now painting a stark picture for those who are infected....


If you are male, type 2 diabetic and are from a BAME demographic then you are at a much greater risk of severe outcomes from a covid19 infection.

The death rate for these individuals is much higher than the average death rate for the whole population and in this blog we look into these figures, postulate why and look at what can be done.

Understand keto diets and you won’t have any need to chase a superfood again

High fat, low carb keto diets have been slammed by diet experts recently but why?

Is the weight loss not a healthy weight loss?

Do we need to eat carbohydrates? 

Is it ketosis that is to blame?

In this article Lipotrim uses the likes of cows, kale, bananas and even Shakespeare to explain the differences between healthy and less than healthy ketosis and keto diets.

Thinking more can help you lose weight - food for thought

THINK ABOUT THIS – BRAIN VS PHYSICAL EXERCISE?


This is the title of the most recent Lipotrim blog post which explores the effect of thinking on our weight. This may sound some crazy thinking but there is evidence to suggest thinking burns many calories. Exercising your brain can indeed help with weight loss.



The Lipotrim blog explores more than just thinking more. 


The following health-related topics are covered too, drawing this concept together:

  • How many calories does it take to be human?
  • The role of exercise in weight loss.
  • How many calories does the brain burn when exercised ie thinking more?
  • What are the difficulties facing us when “thinking more” as an aid to weight loss?
  • Sugar swaps.
  • Keto dieting.
  • Very Low Calorie Diets.
We hope you love our latest Lipotrim blog. Our Lipotrim team are available to answer an questions and offer support with your weight management.

Why is BMI still used?

What are the advantages of using BMI?

BMI is constantly under-fire from critics, many proposing the Hip-to-Waist ratio as a better means of assessing obesity and excess weight. Put a BMI chart up, however, and we are ALL compelled to take a look:

Did you manage to resist looking at your BMI? If so why?

A seemingly simple question such as "Why BMI?" requires a much longer answer than expected.

Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of understanding on even where BMI originated from.
There are many advantages to using BMI and this article explains the critical role it plays in obesity research and day-to-day monitoring of people's weight.
