The busy lifestyle of people made them prefer fast food instead of taking healthy food. But the people are not aware that fast food habit converts to the disease like obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia etc. Obesity is the widespread disease but which cannot be controlled within time. The main factor that causes obesity is the excess intake of energy than energy expenditure. According to WHO around 1.7 billion adults were overweight and 400 million obese. In future there may be near about 700 million people face the problem of obesity and, under the age of 15years 10% of the world‘s children‘s are obese. Obesity develops because of energy required to body adipose tissue that secrets triglycerol during excess food intake and releases free fatty acid FFA thus the excess fat store in the adipose tissues in the body and the mechanism of body action fails to maintain the balance of body fat that is body mass index.
