Always consult a professional

The first step is sometimes the most obvious, and maybe the easiest to ignore.  Before you make any serious change to your diet or exercise routine, get a checkup and express your desire to loss weight fast.  The doctors visit  is crucial, as it may unearth any serious health issues such as:

• Diabetes: Being overweight is one of the major causes of diabetes. Diabetes is caused due to insufficient production of insulin hormone. Excess accumulated fat makes body cell resistant towards insulin, hence causing diabetes in obese people.
• Types of Cancer: Obesity increases the risk of cancer development by 25-33%. Obese person is likely to develop esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, endometrial cancer or colon cancer.
• Congestive Heart Failure: In this condition heart is unable to pump sufficient volume of blood to various body organs. Various research studies show that obesity increases the risk of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
• Heart Enlargement: In case of overweight people the heart muscles need to overwork so as to pump blood to all the body parts. This excess work done by heart muscles results in heart enlargement.
• Stroke: Improper or insufficient blood supply to brain cells results in stroke. Obese people tend to have the problem of proper blood circulation.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Due to abnormal production of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone the ovary tends to form many benign cysts. Being overweight can stimulate abnormal secretion of 2 hormones, hence, leading to polycystic ovarian syndrome.
• Pulmonary Embolism: Pulmonary embolism can be defined as fatal blockage of arteries. It is observed that many overweight people tend to be inactive, hence, it results in accumulation of fat in arteries.
• Gastro-esophageal Reflux or Heartburn: This disease is highly common among overweight people. In this condition, the stomach juices and acid reverts back to esophagus causing discomfort and burning sensation.
• Osteoarthritis: Overweight or excess weight tends to add-on to the pressure on the joints, hence, leading to osteoarthritis. This condition is associated with inflammation and pain in joints.
• Fatty Liver Disease: This condition can be defined as excess accumulation of fat in liver cells. This condition is irreversible.
• Erectile Dysfunction: This condition can be defined as regular failure to maintain or achieve erection. Obesity or overweight increases the risk of erectile dysfunction development.
• Chronic Renal Failure: Obese or overweight persons are at higher risk of chronic renal failure. In chronic renal failure the kidney completely fails to work.
• Lymph Edema: This disease is caused due to dysfunction or damage of lymphatic nodes. The risk of developing lymph edema is greater in case of obese persons as accumulated fat tends to crush its own lymphatic nodes.
• Urinary Incontinence: The inability to control urination is called urinary incontinence. Obese person is at higher risk as they tend to have weak pelvic floor muscles and bladder.
• Depression: Depression is common problem faced by obese person. In some cases it might even lead to suicide attempts.
• Cellulitis: This condition is characterized by spreading of infection in subcutaneous and dermis skin tissues. This condition is caused due to improper lymph flow resulted due to obesity.
• Gallbladder Disease: It is observed that cholesterol levels are higher in case of overweight people. The higher levels of cholesterol lead to the gall stone formation.
• Gout: Excess accumulation of uric acid in joints results in gout. Being overweight worsen the gout condition.
• Pickwickian Syndrome: Excess weight adds pressure on the pulmonary system, hence, leading to Pickwickian syndrome characterized by sleep apnea.
• Hernia: This condition is causes weak and enlarged diaphragm.

 Even if you're not inflicted with any of these diseases, a professional can offer needed insight to your situation. All too often individuals come under the impression they are overweight, but in reality their minds have been contaminated by mainstream culture's view of the human body. What may start as a benign body issue, could fester into debilitating disease.
