Gandikota P et al. - The focus of obesity management remains on lifestyle modifications with optimization of nutrition and physical fitness. The major obstacle in obesity management is the limited understanding among patients that lifestyle changes, including healthy eating habits and physical activity, are the cornerstones to losing weight. Further efforts are needed to increase patient awareness around this issue and to encourage selection and/or provision of healthier foods and controlled portions starting at very young ages.
