and you've got a recipe for obesity, diabetes and heart problems.\u003cbr/\u003eSo say health experts in the United Arab Emirates - where two thirds of men and almost three-quarters of women are overweight.\u003cbr/\u003eExpatriates are also piling on the pounds - and turning to a range of solutions in the battle against the bulge.\u003cbr/\u003eAs one of the most cosmopolitan countries in the world, the UAE caters for all nationalities and tastes.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd that includes fast food.\u003cbr/\u003eWhether you want burgers and chips or pizza and wings, you don't have to walk far to find it in the Gulf state.\u003cbr/\u003eChances are you won't be walking far at all, though - staggeringly high temperatures for much of the year mean that most people rarely walk outside.  \u003cbr/\u003eIn the UAE the car is king - depriving Emiratis and expats alike of the rare opportunity for exercise.\u003cbr/\u003eLittle surprise, then, that obesity rates are rocketing.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to the World Health Organisation, some 67 percent of Emirati men and 72 percent of Emirati women are overweight.  \u003cbr/\u003eAlmost 40 percent of women in the UAE are clinically obese - the seventh highest proportion in the world.\u003cbr/\u003eMore than a quarter of men are obese - the ninth highest.\u003cbr/\u003eThat has led to a rise in weight-related diseases such as type-2 diabetes, with which experts say 22 percent of the population has been diagnosed.\u003cbr/\u003eChildren are affected, too.\u003cbr/\u003eAlmost a third are overweight or obese - and children as young as eight are being diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and hypertension.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are no figures for the expat population, who make up about 80 percent of the population, but experts say they are also following the trend.\u003cbr/\u003eMany of those expats are now turning to weight-loss experts to beat the bulge.\u003cbr/\u003eTake Aakriti Mago, who sought out nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary.\u003cbr/\u003eShe subsequently dropped her dress size from 16 to 12 - and is now aiming for size 10.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd it's clear to Mago what's to blame for all the expanding waistlines.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it's the ease of getting fast food all around you,\" she says. \"So Even if you are driving every 10 seconds or so you'll see a McDonald's, KFC, you've got these little cafeterias that sell shawarmas (kebabs) and fried nuggets and unhealthy stuff.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it's just that, especially with the lifestyle that we have here, if we are working late it's so easily available,\" she adds.\u003cbr/\u003eChowdhary, who runs a nutrition and weight-loss centre in Dubai, says the number of expats using her service has doubled in the past year.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd once people gain weight, she says, they often search for quick fixes such as diets, pills and appetite suppressants.\u003cbr/\u003eChowdhary blames both the sedentary lifestyle in the UAE and its affluence for the alarming rise in obesity.\u003cbr/\u003eBut she also worries about the perception that people there have about health, weight loss and fitness.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Most people want guarantees,\" she explains. \"You know, 'I want to lose five kgs (kilograms, about 11 pounds) in five weeks or five years'.\" \u003cbr/\u003e\"So what happens with this kind of thinking is that you might lose those kgs but you don't realise that when you lose it too fast it's probably just muscle and water, and what happens then (is) it always comes back,\" Chowdhary says.\u003cbr/\u003eShe maintains that people who want to lose weight need to make basic lifestyle changes - such as eating healthy food and doing more exercise.\u003cbr/\u003eAmong those treading the right path is Chris Dcosta, an Indian-Canadian national.\u003cbr/\u003eHe moved to the UAE nine years ago and has since put on 50 kilos (110 pounds).\u003cbr/\u003eChris now weighs 148 kilos (326 pounds) - and points the finger of blame at his long working hours.\u003cbr/\u003eEvery day he makes a 160 mile (260 kilometre) round-trip journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi where he works in IT (information technology).\u003cbr/\u003eThe \"sedentary life and long hours in traffic and otherwise doesn't give you much time to do much physical activity,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eHe has been warned by his doctor that he could be at risk of developing a weight-related disease such as type-2 diabetes.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd that isn't Chris's only motivation to lose weight.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I have a young son who is two-years-old and in a few years' time, obviously, he will want to be playing and running around,\" he explains. \"So, from a family perspective, I want to make sure that I keep fit and I can play with him and also take care of myself to support my family.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSalem Al Adidi has also hit the gym in a bid to lose weight, get fit and build up some muscles.\u003cbr/\u003eAn Emirati, he likes to race powerboats and says he needs to be thinner and fitter to do the sport.\u003cbr/\u003eHe currently weighs 107 kilos (236 pounds) and is aiming to shed 28 kilos (62 pounds).\u003cbr/\u003eAl Adidi started doing weight lifting and exercise six months ago but gave up.\u003cbr/\u003eHe too blames the UAE's sedentary lifestyle.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In our country it's very hot, so I end up staying inside the house and eating and watching television,\" he explains.\u003cbr/\u003e\"You can only really go outside for two months of the year, so for the rest of the time I spend a lot of time sitting on the sofa.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThis time, however, he says he's determined to stick to his punishing fitness regime.\u003cbr/\u003eFor others, there is a more extreme option - gastric bypass surgery.\u003cbr/\u003eDr Ali Reza Eghtedari, a surgeon and head of the obesity clinic at Dubai's Canadian Specialist Hospital, says there has been a big increase in demand - from both Emiratis and expats - because people are afraid of dying of obesity-related diseases.\u003cbr/\u003eUp to 15-hundred people undergo gastric bypass surgery each year in the UAE - and Reza warns that the demand is for almost triple that figure.\u003cbr/\u003eThe danger, he explains, is that many operations are carried out without adequate follow-up - which can lead to major physical and mental problems. \u003cbr/\u003eMost potential patients want a \"very quick\" weight-loss solution, he says.\u003cbr/\u003e\"They want to know that there is something like a magic (solution) - you clap your hands and you wake up from the operation and you start to lose weight and you stay this way,\" he explains.\u003cbr/\u003e\"None of them, none of this category - who come for a very fast, quick solution -  are aware of the consequences of this type of operation.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSurgery is surely be the most drastic weight-loss solution.\u003cbr/\u003eFor many in the UAE, it may simply be a case of eating better food and exercising more.\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eDubai, UAE -
