The dietary approach to obesity: Is it the diet or the disorder?

Article Abstract:

The right diet for the right patient would help in maintaining reduced body mass. It is suggested that physicians and health care professionals should apprize patients about the importance of both quality and quantity of the diet, and advise them that sustained weight loss might be possible with the addition of physical activity and behavioral change strategies to persistent caloric restriction.
