There are certain stages of obesity. Those include
the earliest stages, when person's weight is
15-30% greater than the ideal weight. On the
progressive stage, the person's weight is 30-50%

obesity people usually do not feel a lot of
discomfort and do not tend to connect their health
concerns with their extra weight. There are no
functional or structural changes in the
functioning of their body organs. On these stages

discomfort. However, on these stages of obesity it
