Obesity is an excess of total body fat, which results from calorie intake that exceeds energy usage. It is also a life-threatening disease affecting the United States at an alarming rate. The most common clinical measurement of obesity is Body Mass Index (BMI). A healthy BMI is about 18-25. A BMI of 30 or more signals obesity. A BMI of 40 or more reflects morbid obesity (National Institues of Health (NIH).)
