What interventions are recommended for achieving and maintaining weight loss in adults with overweight and obesity?
Counseling and comprehensive lifestyle interventions, including calorie restriction, are recommended for achieving and maintaining weight loss in adults with overweight and obesity. Additionally, calculating body mass index (BMI) is recommended annually or more frequently to identify adults with overweight and obesity for weight loss considerations. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and bariatric adjunctive to complementary lifestyle interventions may also have a role in weight loss for select patients.
