Losing weight seems to be something simple ... Just burn more calories than we eat but that is easier said than done. 

For most people, dieting is a real challenge, is not easy to resist when you have an appetite or desire to snack between meals. That's why many of the diets offer few results or results that last only a short time.

Most diets do not offer long-term results - A diet together with exercise can have the desired effects, but unfortunately most diets do not work, and even when you lose a few kilos, the body is back to recover them in a short time. To lose real weight, it is necessary to know the causes of overweight. In most cases, overweight has a physical cause.

The most important causes may be:

A reduced sense of satisfaction that can lead us to think of food resulting in the constant desire to eat foods throughout the day or soon after meals.

 

Slow burning of calories by the body, with the intake of 1500 kcal per day entails an increase in weight.

A dependency carbohydrates, {Carbs Craving} ingestion of unusual amount of carbohydrates in a depressive state of mind, researchers have found that during emotional deficits, there are high tendencies for people to have a high carbs intake as a form of compensation to their state of mind.

Hyperinsulinemia: especially after a meal rich in carbohydrates, giving rise to an accumulation of fat in the waist and often constant hunger.

While losing weight is difficult, the theory is very simple: when you consume less, you will lose weight. Within a healthy, balanced diet, a man needs around 10,500kJ (2,500Kcal) a day to maintain his weight. For a woman, that figure is around 8,400kJ (2,000Kcal) a day. These values can vary depending on age, metabolism and levels of physical activity, among other things.

Obesimed Forte is a medical device used for weight loss. It is intended for adults aged 18 or older who have more than 10 kilos overweight or a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher. For good results it is recommended to use Obesimed Forte in combination with a diet with reduced calorie intake.

The BMI is a method that helps you determine whether you have a healthy body weight, or are overweight, for your height. Use the following table to determine whether you are overweight.

• HEIGHT [IN METERS]    WEIGHT [ IN KILOGRAMS]

1.5M 63KG

1.55 67.25

1.60 71.75

1.65 76.25

1.70 81

1.75 85.75

1.80 90.75

1.85 95.75

1.90 101

If you weigh less than the weight listed for your height, 

You should not use Obesimed Forte.

Obesimed Forte absorbs within 30 minutes to an hour, hundreds of times its weight in water. Once the capsule is dissolved, it expands in the stomach, and there it forms a highly viscous gel-stable matrix. That creates a feeling of fullness, so the portion size of the meal can be reduced and it is much easier to maintain a diet. After the consumption of the meal the gel-matrix mixes itself with the food.

Obesimed Forte is a medical device class {I IA} according to European Medical Device Directive (Meddex 93/42 / EEC as amended by 2007/47 / EEC).

Also classified as a medical Device by NAFDAC:   numbers are 

Obesimed forte; 03-3545

Bosomed bloc; 03-3546

A medical device is an instrument, apparatus, implant, in vitro reagent, or similar or related article that is used to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease or other conditions, and does not achieve its purposes through chemical action within or on the body (which would make it a drug).

This makes Obesimed forte and Bloc very safe without side effects to the user as with other weight loss drugs.
