Effective Approaches in Managing Overweight and Obesity

Two key pillars of comprehensive evidence-based care for patients with overweight and obesity are weight normative and weight inclusive approaches. Weight normative medicine focuses on setting a specific weight goal for individuals and constantly reminding them to achieve it, which can lead to weight gain. On the other hand, weight inclusive approach acknowledges the current weight of the individual and focuses on holistic care rather than just a number on the scale.
