Searching for a weight loss plan that actually works? The Bariatric Medical Institute in Ottawa is founded on that thinking. When people enroll in its weight-loss program, they all start on the same six-month diet and exercise plan-but they are encouraged to diverge from the program, with the help of a physician, whenever they want, in order to figure out what works best for them. The program takes a whole-person approach to weight loss, which means that behavior, psychology and budget-not just biology-inform each person's plan.
A further issue is the perception in Arab society that plumpness is associated with beauty and high social standing. A study conducted by the Philips Center for Health and Wellbeing in the United Arab Emirates in 2010 revealed a vast discrepancy between people's perception of their shape and their actual physical condition. Around 75% of the respondents believed that their weight was normal, when official figures showed only 30% were in the normal range.
