Obesity treatment resources

A number of organizations recognize obesity as a chronic, relapsing, progressive disease, yet only a small percentage of patients can achieve their goals and maintain weight loss. Comprehensive care for obesity may involve energy deficit meal plans, physical activity, behavioral modification, consideration of circadian rhythms, and anti-obesity medications. However, providers may have limited time to engage in these and many report the need for more training.

What percent of your obese and overweight patients mention efforts to lose weight?
What resources (for patients or providers) have you found particularly useful in helping patients lose weight and maintain weight loss — or what additional ones would you like to see?
