Obesity treatment focuses on achieving and maintaining a healthy weight to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. The first line of treatment usually includes lifestyle modifications such as a balanced, calorie-controlled diet, regular physical activity, and behavioral changes. Dietitians and healthcare professionals often help patients set realistic goals and monitor progress. For many individuals, even a modest weight loss of 5% to 10% of their body weight can result in significant health improvements.
In cases where lifestyle changes are not sufficient, medical interventions may be necessary. These can include prescription weight-loss medications that help reduce appetite or absorption of fat, and in severe cases, bariatric surgery (such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy). These procedures alter the digestive system to limit food intake or nutrient absorption. Long-term success in obesity treatment often requires continuous support, regular follow-ups, and sometimes psychological counseling to address emotional or behavioral contributors to weight gain.
