Weight Loss Maintenance Strategies for Patients with Obesity

According to an article featured in Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, “long-term weight management of obesity remains a very difficult task, associated with a high risk of failure and weight regain. However, many people report that they have successfully managed weight loss maintenance in the long-term.” In fact, a “multidisciplinary approach based on lifestyle modification has the potential to address several obstacles to reach the optimum long-term management of obesity.” Health care professionals looking learn more about how to improve lasting outcomes for patients with obesity are invited to join us for a 50-minute complimentary webinar, presented by Christopher Case, MD, a board certified endocrinologist practicing at Jefferson City Medical Group in Missouri.
