What does the bible say about obesity and weight loss?

I'm trying to lose some weight and get healthier, and I always try to combine my health journey with my faith. I was wondering, what does the Bible say about obesity and weight loss? Are there any principles I can follow?

Bhai, Bible mein direct 'obesity' ya 'weight loss' aise terms nahi milenge. But it talks about temperance, self-control, and treating your body as a temple. So, maintain good health, don't overeat. Common sense ki baat hai, no need for specific verses. Just eat healthy and live well.

You won't find those exact words in the Bible, but it promotes a balanced life and caring for your body. Sometimes, weight issues aren't just about food; for example, I have thyroid issues, and that impacts my weight. So, besides faith, regular tests and doctor follow-ups are crucial for proper health management.

The Bible encourages healthy living and self-discipline, viewing the body as something to be honored. While it doesn't specify 'obesity' or 'weight loss plans,' the principles of moderation in eating and care for one's physical self are consistent. Practically, balanced diet and exercise are always good.

Haan, Bible mein direct 'motaapa' ya 'dieting' toh nahi likha. Na, but it talks about keeping your body healthy, and not over-indulging. Simple living, high thinking types, you know? It's more about self-control in all aspects, including food.
