title: Managing the overweight and obese. A low fat approach.
abstract: Conventional weight loss methods usually fail in the long term. An approach that focuses on a low fat diet together with moderate increases in physical activity shows promise. Its most attractive feature is that patients do not have to starve themselves. This approach can be used in general practice.
