Blackburn, G.L. | Greenberg, Isaac
Extract: A comprehensive program has been designed to treat medically significant obesity. The essential components include nutritional education, exercise, mental conditioning, relaxation and assertiveness training. Adherence to this combined program is supported by rapid weight loss utilizing a protein-sparing modified fast. Initial efforts include greater than 18 kg (40 lb) weight loss in three out of four patients and greater than two years maintenance in one out of three patients. The varying success depends on patient adherence to a prolonged education program at least six months to one year directed at modification of lifestyle.
