Calculating Obesity Levels Based on Eating Patterns and Physical Health

Pulikanti Anusha, Maddha Manasa, Nandini . R, Naga Mythri

Abstract


As obesity rates rise, established dietary techniques and their capacity to support long-term health are being reexamined. Participants in a six-month randomized clinical experiment that compared conventional dieting methods with the health at every size paradigm were people who had previously followed a long-term diet. Given that the HAES strategy fosters better psychological well-being and long-term health outcomes, the results suggest a paradigm shift in the management of obesity toward health-focused approaches rather than weight-centric diets. The HAES concept encourages people to react to their own internal hunger and satiety cues by supporting homeostatic control and intuitive eating. This study also highlights the potential implications of its findings for the


development of public health policies and initiatives. Index Terms: Physical activity, diet, and obesity
