Oil has brought great wealth to the Gulf but a huge change in lifestyles too.
Fast cars and fast food have seen obesity-related illnesses rise and the problem’s most pronounced in Kuwait, where 88% of people are overweight.

So it’s a good time for the health fitness industry to give their services a real marketing push – but is anti-obesity a way to fat profits?
