Weight Management (I-Slim)

The terms overweight and obesity refer to an excess amount body of fat that may be detrimental to health. Overweight and obesity are caused by an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended when used as energy by the body. A steady body weight is maintained when the calorie intake is equal to the calories “burned.” When this calorie intake exceeds the amount burned, the energy left over is stored as fat and eventually a person starts to gain weight and is at an increased risk of becoming overweight or obese
