"Northern Ireland faces a "tsunami" of obesity-related diseases with which the health service will struggle to cope.
That is the stark warning from Dr Mike Ryan, who runs a weight management clinic in the Northern Health Trust.
"It's best described as a tsunami of obesity-related morbidities that's coming down the track in just five to 10 years, " Dr Ryan said.
Experts say the review into Health and Social Care due to be published this month must tackle the prevention of obesity in the same way as decades of effort - and money - have gone into tackling smoking."
