Obesity is considered a complex and multifactorial disease. Its
treatment, therefore, must also be multimodal and tailored to meet
the needs of each patient. Obesity: Evaluation and Treatment
Essentials presents a wide spectrum of practical treatment
protocols for obesity including exercise, pharmacology, behavior
modification, and dietary factors, from the point of view of the
practicing physician. The book includes information about the new
pharmacotherapy available for the treatment of obesity. It also
includes a chapter on medical treatment of pediatric obesity that
identifies the special needs of children and outlines approaches
for managing the obese child. A chapter on binge eating disorder
has been added and the information on pharmacology of bariatric
medicine has been updated. The book addresses various dietary
interventions such as low-calorie balanced diets, low-carbohydrate
diets, and very-low-carbohydrate diets while also exploring the
comorbidities of obesity such as hypertension, cardiovascular
disease, and Type II diabetes. Written by prominent members of the
Obesity Medicine Association and a multidisciplinary team of
clinicians and researchers, the book showcases successful treatment
methods by including personal key points by clinicians in each
chapter. This comprehensive resource is an invaluable,
user-friendly tool for bariatric physicians and surgeons,
endocrinologists, diabetologists, nutritionists, and dieticians, as
well as all other professionals who currently treat obesity.
