Preface
Obesity is a state in which there is a generalised accumulation of excess adipose tissue in the body leading to more than 20 per cent of desirable weight. Obesity invites, disability, disease and premature death. Excess body weight is a hindrance, leading to breathlessness on moderate exertion and predisposes a person to disease, like atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, gall bladder diseases and osteoarthritis of weight bearing joints and varicose veins. Usually obesity is due to positive energy balance. That is the intake of calories is more than the expenditure of calories, Srilakshmi (2005).
