BACKGROUND Overweight and obesity was responsible for 7.5% of the total burden of disease and injury in Australia in 2003, and was estimated in 2008 to cost the community $58.2 billion. More than half of the adult, and up to a third of the child, population in Australia is now classified as overweight or obese. OBJECTIVE This article aims to provide a rationale and some common practical solutions to help GPs assist patients to reduce intake and ultimately achieve weight loss or weight…

Obesity and overweight
TLDR
Body mass index (BMI) is used in the classification of patients as underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese, and should be used as a rough guide only, as they do not always correspond to the same degree of overweight or obesity in different individuals.
The effectiveness of commercial weight loss programmes : a systematic review and evaluation of a pharmacist-led weight management clinic
TLDR
A systematic review of CWLPs shows that the combination of calorie restriction, structured exercise and support is an effective first-line strategy in obesity treatment and the BPWLP, which uses orlistat 120 mg in combination with advice and support on diet and exercise, was shown to be effective in achieving weight loss for clients.

Overweight and Obesity in Adults
In overweight and obese people with impaired glucose tolerance or raised blood pressure, modest weight loss (3–5 kg) achieved using a combination of increased moderate physical activity (e.g.…
Successful weight loss maintenance.
TLDR
It is found that in the National Weight Control Registry, successful long-term weight loss maintainers share common behavioral strategies, including eating a diet low in fat, frequent self-monitoring of body weight and food intake, and high levels of regular physical activity.
Portion control plate for weight loss in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a controlled clinical trial.
TLDR
The portion control plate enabled patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to decrease their hypoglycemic medications without sacrificing glycemic control and was effective in inducing weight loss.
The burden of disease and injury in Australia.
TLDR
The ABD study was the first to use methodology developed for the Global Burden of Disease study to measure the burden of disease and injury in a developed country.
Comparison of the Atkins, Zone, Ornish, and LEARN diets for change in weight and related risk factors among overweight premenopausal women: the A TO Z Weight Loss Study: a randomized trial.
TLDR
The Atkins diet, which had the lowest carbohydrate intake, lost more weight at 12 months than women assigned to follow the Zone diet, and had experienced comparable or more favorable metabolic effects than those assigned to the Zone, Ornish, or LEARN diets.
Long-term pharmacotherapy for obesity and overweight.
TLDR
Studies evaluating the long-term efficacy of anti-obesity agents are limited to orlistat and sibutramine, which appear modestly effective in promoting weight loss; however, interpretation is limited by high attrition rates.
Effects of low-carbohydrate vs low-fat diets on weight loss and cardiovascular risk factors: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
TLDR
Low-carbohydrate, non-energy-restricted diets appear to be at least as effective as low-fat, energy- restricted diets in inducing weight loss for up to 1 year, however, potential favorable changes in triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values should be weighed against potential unfavorable changes in low-density lipid cholesterol values when low- carbohydrate diets to induce weight loss are considered.
Meal frequency and energy balance
TLDR
It is concluded that any effects of meal pattern on the regulation of body weight are likely to be mediated through effects on the food intake side of the energy balance equation.
Controlled trial of the metabolic effects of a very-low-calorie diet: short- and long-term effects.
TLDR
Results suggest that REE recovers partially after consumption of a VLCD and provide evidence of a possible metabolic advantage of weight loss by a more moderate restriction.
The role of low-fat diets in body weight control: a meta-analysis of ad libitum dietary intervention studies
TLDR
A reduction in dietary fat without intentional restriction of energy intake causes weight loss, which is more substantial in heavier subjects.
