An improper and poorly managed diet, devoid of exercise results in an array of complications in the body. Excessive weight is one of the most serious ones, as it further leads to other complications. Increased weight or obesity results in atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and renal problems and so on. All these complications are lethal, if uncontrolled. Hence weight loss diets are recommended.
