How to treat obesity

First, behavioral therapy.

Second: control diet and increase physical activity. For those with mild obesity, the total amount of food should be controlled, low calorie and low-fat diet should be adopted, and high carbohydrate food should be avoided, so that the daily total calories are lower than the consumption. More physical labor and physical exercise should be done. If the weight can be reduced by 500-1000g per month and gradually reach the normal standard weight, drug treatment is not necessary.

Third: drug treatment. For patients with severe obesity, drugs can be used to reduce weight, and then continue to maintain. However, how to use this kind of drugs better in clinic remains to be discussed. Medication may produce side effects and drug resistance. Therefore, the selection of indications for drug treatment must be very careful, and the possible benefits and potential risks (pros and cons) should be measured according to the individual situation of patients, so as to make a decision.
