What is Obesity?

Today, obesity is understood as Adiposity-Based Chronic Disease (ABCD). This means your body may be storing or handling fat in a way that affects your health — just like any other chronic condition.

Important: It is not caused by laziness, lack of willpower, or personal failure. Weight changes happen because of hormones, metabolism, stress, sleep, and genetics, not because of weakness or failure.
