Obesity management and treatment: How can you manage weight or keep it from coming back?

Obesity is a complex disease - many factors can make you gain weight or prevent you from keeping the weight off. At the same time, managing your obesity (like managing any other chronic disease) is important too.

Losing weight and maintaining it is hard because of how your body responds to weight loss. And so, obesity management can be difficult, even if you've already lost weight or tried to in the past. 

But don't lose hope or think that you have to do it on your own! By partnering with your doctor or other healthcare professionals, you can control the disease of obesity and get the health benefits that come with weight loss. Get started with an obesity management programme that's tailored to your goals, needs, and lifestyle.
