Document Summary
Orlistat: decrease intestinal absorption of ingested fat and produces moderate weight loss, combing medication and behavioural treatments. Protein sparing modified fast: regimen that contains fewer than 800 calories/day. Liposuction: sucks adipose tissue from the body with a tube, its function although is strictly cosmetic. The problem of relapse after completing treatment to lose weight is similar to people who experience it with drinking or using drugs. 5% of adults succeed at keeping the weight, while only 34% keep most of the weight off, and most regain. It can include: hormones signaling a need for food, lack of reinforcement, the existence of food cues, negative emotions, and boredom. Most people who lose weight do not use effective ways to maintain the loss: eating disorders. Anorexia nervosa: involves a drastic reduction in food intake and an unhealthy loss of weight. They have low weight/bmi, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted idea of their body shape.
