Weight Loss Management
What Is Weight Loss Management?
A branch of medicine that takes a holistic approach to weight loss, rather than just counting calories or restricting food intake. It includes strategies such as regular exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and mindful eating.
This branch of medicine is important because excess weight affects nearly every system in the body and significantly increases the risk of many chronic diseases. Studies show people following a low-fat diet within this approach saw a 3–5% decrease in body weight.
