Neta Barzilai, a renowned Israeli singer, recently underwent a drastic weight loss transformation due to doctors warning her about the dangers of obesity on fertility and conceiving. Despite being criticized for her curves for years, she remained proud of her body and mental strength.
When Barzilai won the Eurovision contest for Israel, she made headlines for standing up for acceptance of different body types. However, when she was offered to star in “Dancing with the Stars,” she faced a new challenge. The dance competition demanded physical endurance and mobility, which meant she had to lose weight to meet the performance requirements. Alongside the pressure from the show, Barzilai was warned by doctors of the fertility risks associated with obesity.
Obesity in women can affect fertility by disrupting the hormonal system, causing hormonal imbalances, resistance to insulin, and complications in pregnancy. It can lead to polycystic ovary syndrome, miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and other pregnancy-related complications. Therefore, the connection between obesity and fertility is well-known, encouraging individuals to consider weight loss for improved fertility and overall health.
Barzilai’s transformation has inspired many people to embrace their bodies and work towards a healthier lifestyle. She remains proud of her journey and continues to use her platform to promote acceptance and self-love.
