Secondly, weight management emphasizes managing the levels of nutrients that are consumed as dietary guidelines. Obese patients are advised to progressively reduce calorie intake and supplement low-fat foods but maintain nutrients necessary for body functions.

The patient requires strategies devised to manage temptations and motivation to deals with the new practices.
