Treatment is based on an approach combining dietary measures (to reduce energy intake) and physical activity (to increase expenditure), as well as psychological support, a behavioral approach and medical follow-up. Weight-loss drugs are not recommended by the health authorities, as they are not considered to be very effective and may cause undesirable side-effects. Bariatric surgery is reserved for the most advanced cases of obesity. Don't hesitate to discuss your situation with your doctor, who will be able to advise you on the most appropriate treatment.
