This series paper notes that obesity poses an enormous clinical burden and that innovative treatment and care-delivery strategies are needed. Although the caloric deficits achieved by increased awareness, policy, and environmental approaches have begun to achieve reductions in the prevalence of obesity in some countries, these approaches are insufficient to achieve weight loss in patients with severe obesity. In addition to biases and unfounded assumptions about patients with obesity, absence of training in behavior-change strategies…
