Conclusion
A single physician-led weight loss program is a unique model of weight loss management that can be successfully introduced in the primary care setting with proper training even with limited resources and without multidisciplinary team. This practice can achieve 5% and 10% weight loss in patients with obesity, along with improvement in metabolic components. Weight loss is a long process, as about 60% of patients will take up to 200 days to achieve 5% weight loss. Although adherence and attendance are important predictors of weight loss, they can be improved by addressing patient-specific barriers and creating practice-based methods to improve follow-up rates and patients’ engagement.
