The dietary treatment of obesity is a part of a comprehensive program of weight control that includes increased physical activity, lifestyle modification, appropriate intakes of nutrients to minimize chronic disease risk, and eating patterns that maximize quality of life.
Chronic dieters tend to be food-preoccupied, distractible, emotional, binge-prone, and unhappy, particularly when the diets are very restrictive. It is thus important to foster a healthy, balanced, stable relationship with food and diet. Health professionals can play a vital role in helping patients develop such a relationship.
Set goals Clarify reasonable goals Adapt realistic goals that include Health objectives Define Successful outcomes for weight reduction with the patient Define dieting success in broader terms than weight loss alone Set an Individualized Healthier weight target with the patient Reasonable target:10% loss of BW over 6 months Set an Increased Physical activity goal Individualize the Diet and treatment program
Calorie deficit diets Low calorie diets(lcds):1200-1400 Kcals for women,1200-1600 Kcals for men Very low calorie diets(vlcds):<800 KcalsVLCDs supply 800 calories or less, a total of 50 to 80 grams of protein, 100% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for vitamins and minerals per day, and are designed to produce very rapid weight loss while still preserving lean body mass. VLCDs are prescribed as a form of intensive diet therapy, which require close medical supervision, and should not be used long-term. They are intended to induce quick and significant weight loss of about 14 to 21 kilograms over a short time (11-14 weeks). VLCD s are sometimes used to provide a jump-start to further obesity treatment.

Atkins Diet High protein, high fat, and low carbohydrates which causes rapid initial weight loss. Phases gradually work in a small amount of CHO s 60 % fat/ 30% protein/ 10% CHO Eliminates: fruits, cereals, breads, grains, starches, dairy products, and starchy vegetables Side effects: fatigue, muscle weakness, headaches, irritability, dizziness, constipation, halitosis (bad breath).

Low carbohydrate diets,ada recommendations
Low Fat Less than 20% of energy is coming from fat, usually only 5-10%. There is limited (or elimination of) animal protein sources; also all fats, nuts, and seeds. Dieters eat primarily grains, fruit, and vegetables, which most people cannot do for a very long time.

Conclusions: In this study, premenopausal overweight and obese women assigned to follow 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 While questions remain about long-term effects and mechanisms, a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet may be considered a feasible alternative recommendation for weight loss.

A comparison of three diets, low-carbohydrate unrestricted energy, Mediterranean restricted energy, and low-fat restricted energy, on weight loss in moderately obese subjects over 2 y demonstrated significant decreases in body weight, blood pressure, and waist circumference with all diets; however,these were greater on the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets than on the low-fat diet. Concomitant improvements in lipid profiles αnd other markers were also more favorable on the low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean diets
The protective role of the mediterranean diet on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a population, of Greek obese subjects. Paletas K, Athanasiadou E, Sarigianni M, Paschos P, Kalogirou A, Hassapidou M, Tsapas A..J Am Coll Nutr.,2010,Feb,29(1)41-5 OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate and analyze the dietary habits in a population of Greek overweight and obese subjects and to investigate the potential associations between those patterns and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome components. METHODS: The study recruited 226 consecutive adult (30 men, 169 women) overweight or obese (body mass index >25 kg/m(2)) individuals attending the Metabolic Diseases Unit. Medical history, dietary history, and anthropometric parameters were recorded during the first visit. Fasting blood samples were collected for biochemistry assaying.
RESULTS: According to the nutrient intake history and Mediterranean Diet Scale (MDS), participants were divided into 3 groups: those adhering to the MD and those not following the MD, who were further subdivided into the high-carbohydrate (HC) and high-fat (HF) diet groups according to the source of maximum energy intake. Adherence to the MD was associated with a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome (27.3%, 69.2%, and 60.4% in MD, HC, and HF respectively, p = 0.006), lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.009, MD vs. HF), and lower postchallenge glucose values (p = 0.028, MD vs. HF). CONCLUSIONS: Adherence to the MD seems to be declining among Greek overweight and obese subjects, a phenomenon that is associated with an increase in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome.

Begin supplementing with a multivitamin plus minerals, Vitamin D with calcium (specifically calcium acetate), and sublingual Vitamin B 12 Aim for 60-70 grams of protein per day This stage lasts 4-5 weeks Stage 5 Small portions of low-fat (<3-5 grams per serving) or low-sugar (<14 grams per serving) solid foods At least 64 ounces of fluid per day,aim for 60-80 grams of protein,continue to take supplements Follow this 6-8 weeks after surgery and follow up with a Registered Dietitian Dietary Treatment of Obesity,Johanna T Dwyer, Kathleen J Melanson,, Utchima Sriprachyanunt, Paige Cross, and Madelyn Wilson.Endotext [Internet], February 28, 2015
