Overview
Sustainable weight loss comes from a calorie deficit created through nutrition and movement — but genetics, hormones, and biology are why 'just eat less' fails for most. Modern medications (GLP-1s) have changed the picture.
Treatment
Highest-evidence lifestyle: protein 0.8–1 g/lb body weight, whole foods, strength training 2–3x/week, walking, sleep 7+ hours. Medications: GLP-1s (semaglutide, tirzepatide) produce 15–22% weight loss. Metformin, phentermine, naltrexone-bupropion are other options. Bariatric surgery for BMI 35+.
