Abstract

Obesity constitutes an increasing problem of public health. As we state in this

work, to the -great prevalence of obesity in well-developed countries is begining to be

added its presence in developing countries. So, the problem affects a high percentage

of people that, frequently, try to lose their excessive body fat undergoing numerous

treatments.

In many occasions they succeed in losing weigth. Less frequently, this loss has

been steady and well-designed to reach a "healthy weigth". At last, in very few cases

they succeed in stabilizing and mantaining the weigth after treatment. To face this last

problem, we propose a conscientious analysis of the situation of every patient with an

approach to complex and coordinated treatments, managed by a cross-disciplinary

team. The treatment will consist of nutritional treatment, psycological treatment and

physical exercise.
