Obesity influences not only the reducing of daily life quality, but also the disease susceptibility and an increased mortality through endocrine diseases, cardiovascular, digestive, and so on. Subjects with BMI that is higher than 32, have a general mortality twice higher compared to subjects with normal weight.To determine the mechanisms of obesity, there have been made numerous researches and there have been developed several hypotheses, among these, more discussed, being found two theories. One of them, „exogenous” theory considers obesity as a reason to an external cause of human body, a simple consequence of an excessive food intake, a overeating; the second theory, „endogenous”, considers obesity as a reason to disorders of the body itself, an intake disorder or the use of food from nervous or endocrine causes.
