Current guidelines recommend that weight-loss therapy should be
primarily based upon specific body mass index (BMI) cut-off limits.
However, in the adipocentric paradigm, it is acknowledged that co-
morbidities, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and
dyslipidemia, occur at all levels of BMI. Excessive fat mass
(adiposity) in genetically susceptible individuals results in fat
dysfunction (adiposopathy), which then contributes to metabolic
disorders that increase the risk of atheroscl*****c cardiovascular
disease. In this paradigm, the term "anti-obesity" treatment might
best be replaced by "anti-adiposopathy" treatment, wherein the focus
is not based solely on BMI, but instead directed towards
physiologically improving fat cell function and clinically improving
the metabolic health of patients. This may occur through appropriate
diet, physical exercise, and other lifestyle changes, and/or from drug
therapies. Cannabinoid receptor antagonists and peroxisome
proliferator activated receptor agonists are examples of agents that
physiologically improve fat function and clinically improve metabolic
disease.

Hunger is wonderful ! ! !
It's how we know the answer to the question "What does Jesus
want?" (WDJW):

Yes, hunger is our knowledge of good versus evil that Adam and Eve
paid for with their and our immortal lives.
"Blessed are you who hunger NOW...
.... for you will be satisfied." -- LORD Jesus Christ (Luke 6:21)
Amen.
Here is a Spirit-guided exegesis of Luke 6:21 given in hopes of
promoting much greater understanding:
