<![CDATA[Obesity is an excessive accumulation of fat that poses a health risk. The right lifestyle and diet greatly affect the growth of adolescents. If there is an imbalance, then adolescents can be affected by obesity. The method in this activity is in the form of providing education through counselling at SMAN 7 Denpasar about the dangers of obesity and checking height, weight, and waist circumference to determine the BMI of students and early detection of obesity conditions. The number of students who were educated and measured BMI status was 50 students. The BMI measurement results showed that 48% of students had normal BMI status, 22% with overweight BMI status, 18% were obese, and 12% with underweight BMI status. The average results of pre-test and post-test assessments showed an increase in understanding from students about the dangers of obesity after being given counselling. This community service activity concludes that counselling is an effective means of increasing understanding of the dangers of obesity and measuring BMI in students can make them realise early on whether they are obese or not, making it easier to prevent or improve lifestyle and eating habits to prevent or overcome adolescent obesity.]]>
