About Obesity Medicine
Obesity medicine treats excess weight as a medical condition. Indians develop health risks at lower body mass index, particularly with belly fat, so a waist measurement is useful along with BMI.
Plans combine nutrition, activity, behaviour change, medicines in selected people and surgery for severe obesity. Avoid crash diets and unproven supplements.
