How is obesity treated?

Obesity treatment usually requires a multidisciplinary approach and includes the following methods:

1. Nutrition Regulation: Creating a balanced and calorie-controlled diet plan. You can create a personalized nutrition program by working with a dietitian.

2. Exercise: Regular physical activity. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of intense aerobic exercise per week is recommended.

3. Behavioral Therapies: Behavioral therapies aimed at eating habits and lifestyle changes. You can get support from psychologists or therapists.

4. Drug Therapy: In some cases, doctors may prescribe medications to support weight loss.

5. Surgical Methods: In cases of morbid obesity or when other methods are not effective, bariatric surgery may be considered.

I need the answers to the following questions to better understand your medical history (anamnesis):

• What are your daily eating habits?

• How often and what kind of physical activity do you do?

• Do you have any chronic diseases or take medication?

• Are there other individuals in your family with obesity or related health problems?

I can make more personalized recommendations with the details you provide for your history. By the way, you may first need to see an Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Specialist or Dietitian for obesity treatment.

I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
