Multidisciplinary therapy combining nutritional, physical, and behavioral interventions reduces body weight, fat mass, and cardiometabolic risk factors in adults with obesity.
To manage obesity effectively, you need a team approach that includes diet, exercise, and behavioral counseling, rather than just one of these. Aim for sessions 2-3 times a week, lasting at least 20 minutes, over a period of weeks to months. This combined approach helps reduce weight and fat while preserving muscle and improving metabolic health, which is crucial for long-term success.
Multidisciplinary therapy resulted in a reduction in body weight, body fat, and body circumferences and in preservation and/or increase of lean body mass. There were benefits in controlling metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, diabetes, CD, and other complications
