In general, a variety of factors that play a role in obesity. This makes it a complex health issue to address. This section will address how behavior, environment and genetic factors may have an effect on getting people who are overweight and obese.
When it comes to maintaining a healthy weight for life, the bottom line is - calories count! Weight management is a balancing act - balancing the calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses or "burns".
A calorie is defined as a unit of energy from food. A calorie is a calorie regardless of its source. Whether you eat carbohydrates, fats, sugars or proteins, all contain calories.
Calorie balance is like a ladder. To stay in balance and maintain body weight, calories consumed (food) must be balanced by the calories used (in normal body functions, daily activities and sports).
