The best remedy for being overweight is to exercise more while you eat less and eat sensibly. That way you can use up more energy than you take in and lose weight. A diet can help people lose weight. And some people can have success with drugs that make them feel less hungry. But over the long term, these methods don't work for everyone.
Some people quickly regain the weight they lose on a diet.
Some even end up weighing more. Drugs that make you feel less hungry do not usually produce weight loss that lasts. If you've tried these methods and still have a problem with excess weight, you may want to consider surgery. Surgery can help some people lose weight and keep it off.
