From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Overweight is generally defined as having more body fat than is optimally healthy. Being overweight is a common condition, especially where food supplies are plentiful and lifestyles are sedentary. As much as 64% of the United States adult population is considered either overweight or obese, and this percentage has increased over the last four decades. Excess weight has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults being either overweight or obese. Increases have been observed across all age groups. A healthy body requires a minimum amount of fat for the proper functioning of the hormonal, reproductive, and immune systems, as thermal insulation, as shock absorption for sensitive areas, and as energy for future use. But the accumulation of too much storage fat can impair movement and flexibility, and can alter the appearance of the body. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How overweight do you have to be not to fit in the rides at Disneyland Paris? Q. Me and my best friend are going to Disneyland Pairs in 9 months time. We're both overweight, I'm a size 18 and 5'2. My best friend says she's heavier than me, she's 5'6 and said she's about a size 24. How overweight do you have to be not to fit on the rides? Asked by Hollie - Sun Jul 5 06:26:42 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It is comparable to Anaheim. Physical mobility is the greatest issue. If your friend's knees are still holding up, she should be fine. You know how some of the rides can be low seating (like getting down into a miniature sportscar. The Pirates ride and Haunted Mansion should be at the top of your list. It's a Small World, really no problem for any of those. The flight would be my biggest concern. Be sure you both get up and move around and point and flex your feet while sitting. I loved Disney Paris. We are going again. Have fun and don't worry about the ride seating unless you are very tall. Health issues are the true concern. Sometimes heart patients can't ride, etc. Answered by Kiki - Tue Jul 7 02:38:29 2009 What brand of cat food is best for overweight cats? Q. I have 2 cats. They are both overweight. We feed them Purina Naturals or something like that. We want the best, dry cat food designed specifically for overweight cats. They are adults, 5 and 9 years old. We feed them 1/3 of a cup twice a day, once in the morning, and once at night. We give them snacks throughout the day as well. I think we are feeding them too much. What do you think? How much food do they need each day? And how many times to they need to be fed that amount? Asked by 'N Stuff - Tue Aug 21 18:00:54 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments A. I am a fan of Science Diet, though many people are not. I like the variety available. Since cats are grazers, I feed my guys about 1/4 of a cup each twice a day, sometimes less depending on the amount of running around they do. I use the "less active" formula, and sometimes the light, and sometimes the sensitive stomach formula, which is nice for their coats. Weigh your cats, and look at them. Do their bellies graze the floor when they are standing? When they are sitting with their backs to you do they present a very triangular shape? Then they can afford to lose a bit of weight. Remember that different kinds of cats have different needs, and a Maine Coon cat might weigh 18 pounds and be healthy, while a Siamese cat might weigh 6 pounds… [cont.] Answered by mliz55 - Tue Aug 21 18:14:21 2007 Any tips for slimming down an overweight beagle?
Q. My beagle is 4 years old, and about 5 pounds overweight. We've switched her to diet food, given her less treats, and taken her for a lot of runs, all this for more than 6 months. She hasn't really lost any weight. Any tips? Asked by Anya - Mon Aug 27 17:17:47 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. If she hasn't lost any weight in more than six months, then she is still getting more calories than you want her to be getting. In order to get weight loss you probably need to cut back on the amount of food you are feeding her. Get an actual measuring cup like the kind you would use for baking (just a cheap plastic one from the dollar store will do) and actually measure the exact amount of food you are feeding her EVERY single time you feed her. If you aren't measuring her food every single time you are probably overfeeding her. Most people just guesstimate how much food is a cup...and most people are very surprised by just how wrong they are in their guess once they break out a standard measuring cup and actually measure the food. … [cont.] Answered by ainawgsd - Mon Aug 27 18:22:20 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "overweight"  news.google.com Us Magazine First of all the article is not promoting overweight people; the article is about Gaba??s mother supporting herself and maintaining her independence without ...
