English translation:obesity inevitable - see explanation
Explanation:
Without a whole sentence, it's rather difficult to give an accurate translation, but for a context such as "avec une telle alimentation, c'est l'obésité assurée", I would go for something like:

"With a diet such as this, obesity is inevitable".
