Weight loss strategies that really work
J Fam Pract.
2010 Jul.
Abstract
Calculate body mass index and diagnose obesity to increase the likelihood that obese patients will take steps to lose weight. Prescribe a low-calorie diet for at least 6 months to help patients achieve a weight loss of at least 5% to 10%. Prescribe physical activity for weight loss and weight maintenance. Review the benefits and risks of bariatric surgery with patients who are severely obese, and provide a referral, when appropriate.
