3. How to keep weight off successfullyNational Weight Control RegistryMcGuire, Wing, Klem, Lang, Hill (1999) Physical activity
extra 500kcal/week
= extra 2000 steps 5 days a week
? >10,000 steps per day
Avoid high-fat foods
24% vs 26% Energy from fat
even after adjustment for energy density
(Wyatt et al 2004)
Replace with low-fat options (Weststrate et al, 1995)
Satisfy appetites

7. Dietary changes Three regular meals daily
Low fat, low sugar choices
Min. 5 portions fruit and veg
Avoidance “empty calories”
Reduce snacking between meals
Minimise alcohol intake
Dedicated place to eat, not in the car, 20 min. between courses, smaller portions
Eating should still be pleasurable
9. Activity changes 30 minutes each day
Brisk walking, swimming, gym?
Leave the car at home
Walk children to school
Avoid lifts, use the stairs
Get off the bus a stop early
Formalised exercise schemes
Make activity a normal part of life
Best form of exercise?
14. Working with commercial weight loss groups:Weight Watchers meetings compared with self-help/brief counselling programme
15. Maintenance of weight loss?Life-time members 5 years after reaching goal weight:- 30% remained within 5 lbs of goal weight- 50% had maintained a weight loss of 5% or more- 70% were still below their starting weight Lowe et al 2001,International Journal of Obesity Related Metabolic Disorders, 25:325-331
19. Medical management of obesity Medical Management of Obesity: Implications for Care
Obesity is a legitimate, chronic disease2
– It has serious health consequences
– It is a major risk factor for common causes of death (eg, cardiovascular disease14)
Obesity has multiple causes1:
– Genetic, hormonal, behavioural, environmental, socio-economic, cultural
– Blaming the patient is inappropriate and does not produce positive outcomes
Treatment options3
– Lifestyle modifications must be lifelong and encompass:
Nutrition/diet
Physical activity
Behaviour modification
– Pharmacotherapy
– Surgery

20. Counterweight Obesity Management Intervention (COMIN) A national primary care weight management programme
80 practices in 7 regions of the UK
Audit to assess burden of obesity on disease prevalence, prescribing and GP attendance
Dietitian trained, nurse-led, intervention programme
Programme methodology and preliminary results published
educational grant from Roche Products Ltd
21. Counterweight Obesity Management Intervention (COMIN) Programme Nurse-led intervention, Facilitated by dietitians
Structured treatment pathway for obesity
Patients with BMI = 28 with co-morbidities, or BMI 30+
Only weight management programme to show clinical effectiveness in weight loss/ maintenance in primary care
78% of compliant patients lose weight at 12 months
40% of compliant patients lose >5% weight at 12 months The model consists of 4 phases….
Audit – to identify prevalence of obesity and burden in each practice.
Practice training – to improve knowledge, skills and attitudes and includes component of clinical support.
Intervention programme – use of structured pathway based on national agreed guidelines.
Evaluation – results are feedback to practices on a 6 monthly basis to promote changes in clinical practice.
Designed to maximise changes in clinical practice.

25. Orlistat in primary care Slide 15: Weight loss in the primary care setting
The management of obesity now increasingly lies within the remit of the primary care physician. However, due to a lack of awareness of the co-morbidities and cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity, treatment is often not optimal. A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was undertaken in 796 obese patients in the primary care setting to determine the long-term efficacy of Xenical (US Primary Care Study) in which patients were given little dietary or behavioural counselling. Weight loss was identical in Xenical and placebo groups during the 4-week run-in period, in which patients received a mildly hypocaloric diet. Weight reduction stabilised after 8 weeks in the placebo group, but there was a continuing decrease in weight throughout 12 months of Xenical therapy. After 1 year, weight loss was 7.9% in the Xenical group compared with 4.2% for placebo. During the second year (in which patients received a eucaloric, weight maintenance diet) the tendency for weight regain was much more marked in the placebo group and at the end of the study, the weight lost in the Xenical group was significantly greater compared with placebo (p<0.001).

3304 obese patients in placebo controlled trial
4 years duration, multicentre, prospective
79% patients normal glucose control, 21% IGT
Orlistat treated group had a 37% relative risk reduction in developing diabetes compared to placebo at 4 years
Orlistat assisted weight loss improved significantly other metabolic parameters (BP, lipids and BMI)

31. What does “work” mean? Weight loss – 5-10%
Waist loss – 5-10cm
Improved nutritional and physical activity levels
Improved co-morbid disease control
Improved met. synd. risk markers
BP, dyslipidaemia, glucose
Reduced co-morbid medication
Improved well being, self esteem
Less breathlessness, more energy, less pain, more mobility, improved quality of life
