Balance Nutrition and Exercise for Effective Weight Management

Patients on specific medications for weight loss must not only maintain regular exercise but also adhere to a balanced diet, even in the absence of hunger. Cases have been observed where patients transition from obesity to anorexia due to insufficient caloric intake, highlighting the risk of extreme sensitivity to medication effects. One patient, initially classified as obese, drastically reduced her calorie consumption to the point where her diet consisted solely of a piece of toast and a glass of water, leading to unhealthy weight loss. Such outcomes emphasize the necessity of monitoring both dietary habits and medication responsiveness to ensure overall health and prevent severe weight-related issues.
