Adherence
Adherence to treatment protocols is a critical determinant of success in obesity management, and individualized care plans are recommended to improve adherence.
Success depends on sticking to your plan. If you find yourself struggling to follow a complex regimen, ask your doctor for an individualized care plan. A multidisciplinary team (doctors, dietitians, psychologists) can tailor the approach to your life, making it easier to adhere to long-term.
