Obesity treatment is a complicated matter: What works for one person may not work for another. Once you factor in lifestyle, genetics, and personal weight and health issues, it's easy to see that treatment has to be tailored to the individual.
And therein lies part of the impediment to successful
obesity treatment : So many weight loss programs presume that everyone's the same. Programs greatly over-simply the issue when they assume that the needs of someone whose weight has genetic origins are the same as someone who suffers from a binge eating disorder. Unfortunately, all too many weight loss programs do just that.
The other great barrier to weight loss is the simple fact that losing weight is very hard work. Obesity research may scream the virtues of an active lifestyle, but for many truly obese people, exercising hard enough to burn calories is uncomfortable, painful, and in some cases, downright dangerous.
To lose weight and, more importantly, keep it off, you have to determine what works best for you.
