    • Dieting alone is insufficient for effective, long-term obesity management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the limitations of traditional obesity treatments.
    • To propose a more effective, behavior-centric approach to obesity therapy.
    • To emphasize the need for comprehensive lifestyle and behavioral modification.
