2. Exercise: Physical exercise is considered to be the best way to overcome obesity.

Types of exercise

Exercises are generally grouped into three types depending on the overall effect they have on the human body:

3. Weight loss programs

Weight loss programs include lifestyle changes and diet. This may involve eating smaller meals, eating certain types of food, and making effort to exercise more. These programs try to make relationships between the people who are attempting to lose weight.

4. Medication:

The commonly used medications to treat obesity and the average weight lost are: Orlistat (Xenical), 2.9 kg (6.4 lb),Sibutramine (Meridia), 4.2 kg (9.3 lb)Rimonabant (Acomplia), 4.7 kg (10.4 lb)

5. Surgery: Physicians suggest losing weight through surgeries in some special cases.

Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), is performed on people who are extremely obese, for the purpose of losing weight. This weight is usually achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with an implanted medical device (gastric banding) or through removal of a portion of the stomach (gastric bypass surgery).

There is also a surgical way to reduce obesity that is laser treatment.

Some Western world countries such as Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the United States have created clinical practice guidelines in an attempt to address rising rates of obesity. It is known as the clinical protocol.

Physicians suggest taking medicine to patients who have a BMI of 30 or more, and surgery to those having BMI of 40 or more.
