Healthy Diet, Exercise 'Not Enough to Treat Obesity,' Say Experts

People who are obese are often told to eat healthier and exercise more in
order to lose weight. But in an article recently published in The Lancet
Diabetes & Endocrinology, obesity experts claim the condition is a chronic
disease that can be caused by biological factors, meaning many cases may
not be cured with a healthy diet and physical activity alone.
.
In the US, around 35% of adults and 17% of children and adolescents are
obese. Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) cite a healthy diet and exercise as a
primary factor in combatting obesity. But is it really that simple?
.
Not according to lead author Dr. Christopher Ochner, assistant professor
of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount
Sinai in New York, NY, and colleagues.
.
In their article, the experts state that while a healthy diet and exercise
may help obese individuals lose weight in the short term, around 80-95%
eventually gain back that weight.
.
They explain that this is partly because a reduced intake of calories can
activate a type of biological "fat-loss defense" that encourages the body
to stay at a higher weight.

Many clinicians are not adequately aware of the reasons that individuals
with obesity struggle to achieve and maintain weight loss,1 and this poor
awareness precludes the provision of effective intervention.2 Irrespective
of starting weight, caloric restriction triggers several biological
adaptations designed to prevent starvation.3 These adaptations might be
potent enough to undermine the long-term effectiveness of lifestyle
modification in most individuals with obesity, particularly in an
environment that promotes energy overconsumption.
