Weight management is a common concern for many people.
Excess weight problems such as obesity and overweight states are serious health issues. The presence of obesity and being overweight places a person at greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, worsening arthritis and many other preventable medical conditions.
What we have learned over the past few years in Obesity medicine is that obesity is a chronic disease with many contributory factors much like other chronic medical conditions, the management extends beyond the immediate change in weight and does require chronic surveillance and management much as one would do for medical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease etc
Current studies suggest that obesity may result for multiple reasons including a remarkable dysregulation of the metabolic system as well as many other contributors such as environmental factors, gut microbiome, chronic stress, chronic sleep disturbance and many more
These complex series of factors may lead to metabolic dysregulation, abnormal weight gain and ultimately obesity. Patient's with a dysregulated metabolic state may be more likely to have an abnormally increased weight "set point". The body is naturally designed to maintain the weight needed to support it's metabolic requirement an abnormally increased set point simply means the body somehow thinks it requires more energy than it actually needs to maintain it's needs.
This weight "set point" sometimes explain why some patients find that despite multiple attempts at weight loss they seem to gain the weight back to their pre-weight loss number when they stop the diet or weight-loss regimen. It may also explain another common phenomenon where patients seem to have a plateau weight beyond which they are unable to lose any more weight. There are ways to successfully manage this dilemma and maintain control of overall weight
