           Being overweight or being obese refers to the body weight that is greater than what is considered healthy for a certain height. Although many people consider losing weight, or make an effort to avoid being overweight or obese because of their physical appearance, there is more to it than meets the eye. Truthfully, there are serious health risks that we need to address when someone is overweight or obese. This is not just about how the clothes don’t fit well anymore, how it is hard to move and even have an active lifestyle.








            An overweight or obese person is at high risk in having chronic diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Type 2 Diabetes, Gallstones and even cancer! To avoid having these health hazards, we must be able to avoid having excess weight or being obese—and by knowing the causes, we might be able to successfully avoid being obese!
Causes of Obesity:

1.       Lack of Energy Balance – Lack of energy balance happens when one takes in more calories than what is used. Energy IN is the amount of calories you take while Energy OUT is the amount of calories you use. If there is no balance in the energy you take in and use up, the probability of weight gain is high.


2.       Inactive Lifestyle – An inactive lifestyle is when you spend hours sitting down, watching TV and purposely choosing lying around than exercising. With this kind of lifestyle, weight gain is very much possible. This is because the amount of energy you are using is not the same as the energy you take in from food and drinks. When you prefer to ride cars, use elevators and escalators all the time, you are just putting your energy on rest which results to weight gain.



3.       Environment – The place we live in, the place we are exposed to are a huge part of our health choices. Like the lack of affordable gym that people can use anytime, lack of sidewalks and bike lanes. Huge meal portions at restaurants, lack of healthy food choices that are made affordable for the general public. Even the working schedules are not health friendly at all. With this kind of environment, we are exposed to an unhealthy lifestyle/



4.       Genes and Family History – Mostly, obesity is carried out because of family history. Families share food and activities together so if a family eats unhealthily and live a sedentary lifestyle, weight gain or even obesity may follow. This is because a person adapts the unhealthy lifestyle he/she gets exposed to.



5.       Health Conditions – Some hormone problems may cause overweight and obesity, such as underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), Cushing's syndrome, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Underactive thyroid is a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't make enough thyroid hormone. Lack of thyroid hormone will slow down metabolism which causes weight gain. Cushing's syndrome is a condition in which the body's adrenal glands make too much of the hormone cortisol. Cushing's syndrome also can develop if a person takes high doses of certain medicines, such as prednisone, for long periods. People who have Cushing's syndrome gain weight, have upper-body obesity, a rounded face, fat around the neck, and thin arms and legs. PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome is a condition that affects about 5–10 percent of women of childbearing age. Women who have PCOS often are obese, have excess hair growth, and have reproductive problems and other health issues. These problems are caused by high levels of hormones called androgens.
Once we are well aware of the causes of obesity, we can make a way around it and avoid it as much as we can by maintaining a well-balanced diet meal, exercising regularly every week, and taking in consideration the usage of supplements that help you lose weight. Good thing there’s FatOut!

Last November 5, 2016 the Blogapalooza was held at the Novotel Hotel in Cubao. It was such an amazing experience to see a lot of bloggers in that said event. There were insightful talks and there weren’t any dull moments. There were also loads of prizes given randomly, not to mention amazing booths in the said event. 

Inside a plenary hall like place, we got to listen to different influential people and several segments from different companies and businesses not just plugging their specialty and brand but mainly reaching out a hand to help us and collaborate with us in the future. It was very exciting and helpful!

What struck me the most and what made an impact to me is the segment of the event’s co-presenter ATC Healthcare’s FatOut. To be honest, I always thought that this was just a slimming supplement that aids in weight loss and management. Period. I didn’t think that there was more to it than that, and it shocked me and my fellow bloggers as well.

First, their segment started with a hint of Zumba. We didn’t do a full session but they have a Zumba instructor for I think a good minute or so and I guess everyone was just shy to Zumba their hearts out but it gave an energizing and fab mood. After that, they immediately called a doctor that spoke about the product—FatOut. The talk wasn’t long and boring like what everyone would imagine when I say “talk” and “doctor”. It was actually meaningful and insightful! So we figured out that FatOut is not just a slimming supplement that concentrates on removing fat. It is a supplement that has ACTUAL HEALTH BENEFITS to our body and it’s AMAZING. What it really does is cleanses and detoxifies the body. It gets rid of the toxins, excess fat and hard to digest food that’s why it gets excreted easily without being stored inside the body for a long time. The difference it does is, it will not give you the diarrhoea effect rather it will regularize bowel movement. You won’t get to experience stomach cramps, oily or fatty poop, palpitation or sweating because like what I said, it is made to BENEFIT and not JEOPARDIZE the health (like other supplements, if you know what I mean).

Now, I can’t wait till I get my hands on FatOut! Can’t wait to try it myself and see what the fuss is all about. All I know is that it’s not just a simple slimming supplement, it’s a colon cleanser!!! Omg. So that’s why Kim Chiu is the endorser, because this isn’t all about a slim figure, it’s about health on the inside and no matter how slim or fat you are, no matter what weight you are on, FatOut really helps. Let’s see what happens when I take FatOut and I’ll keep you guys posted! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!! Health is my number 1 priority but I wouldn’t mind a few shredded pounds as bonus ;)
