Dietary changes, regular exercise. Bariatric surgery if other attempts have failed.
Eat less, work more, more exercise daily.
Some obesity is a result of endocrinopathies and/or behavioral difficulties. Care with a qualified nutritionist can produce the most effective and longest lasting solution to this difficulty whether metabolically or behaviorally created.
There are many options for treating obesity. There are psychotherapies and medications that can help treat binge eating disorder and other psychiatric conditions associated with obesity. Some people are candidates for weight loss surgery. If you are looking to treat your obesity it is best to speak with your doctor to get individualized treatment recommendations.
