A member asked:
Please help docs! is obesity mostly down to a choice of lifestyle?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Obesity, lifestyle : Life style could affect weight, depending on the kinds of food within one's diet. It could be related to metabolic or other medical issues, as well as psychological and/or emotional issues. Best consult with your family doctor first to make sure that there aren't any medical problems underlying the obesity, and then start to look at choice of lifestyle issues.

No.: There is some genetic disposition BUT your lifestyle can control it. Through herbs, medication, and or surgery as a complement to diet and exercise.
