Interdisciplinary Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (IT+CBT) effectively supports weight loss and improves quality of life in adults with obesity.
Interdisciplinary Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (IT+CBT) combines goal setting, impulse control, and problem-solving with cognitive strategies to help patients achieve and maintain weight loss. A small study showed it was superior to health education or physical exercise alone. It requires commitment to therapy sessions.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
Interdisciplinary cognitive-behavioral therapy (IT+CBT) demonstrated superior results compared to the other approaches... The 30-week study involved 43 participants aged 30–50 years with a BMI of 30–39.9 kg/m².
Why this rating
Based on a small randomized controlled trial (n=43).

- Semaglutide (2.4 mg weekly) produces significant weight loss (approx. 15%) by acting as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that stimulates satiety centers in the hypothalamus.Strong
- Tirzepatide (5-15 mg weekly) produces dose-dependent weight loss (up to 25.3%) by acting as a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist.Strong
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) are highly effective surgical interventions for severe obesity, with RYGB showing slightly greater long-term weight loss.Strong
