The effect of weight loss with anorectic medications on sleep apnea, non-insulin-dependent diabetes, and steatohepatitis is illustrated in three cases from practice in a clinical nutrition setting. Prevention of obesity, a chronic disorder, is preferable, but when obesity becomes a major obstacle in the care of patients with respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders and osteoarthritis, an intense course of weight reduction using anorectic medications under medical and dietetic guidance is essential for patients' survival and reduction of medical cost.
