Abstract:
Lifestyle management of obesity includes nutritional therapy, physical activity, and several intermittent fasting therapies. Effective nutrition therapies include optimized low-fat diets, high-quality ketogenic diets, and energy-restricted diets. Adherence to dietary change remains the most substantial barrier to success; therefore, patients engaging in lifestyle changes require intensive support and resources. Physical activity is shown to have benefits to body composition and disease risk beyond the effects on weight loss. Patients should be guided toward a regimen that is appropriate for their capacity for movement. Multiple intermittent fasting strategies have now been shown to cause substantial weight loss and metabolic health improvement.
