WHY WE GAIN WEIGHT?
Causes of overweight and obesity
Heredity and Nutrigenomics
Many hormonal and neural factors involved in weight
regulation are determined genetically eg
o short and long-term signals determining satiety & feeding
activity
o Number and size of fat cells, regional distribution of body
fat, and BMR
Genes determine 50-70% of predisposition to obesity
(Prentice, 2005)
- Nutritional or lifestyle choices can activate or deactivate
obesity-triggering genes (eg Ob gene, adiponectin
(ADIPOQ) gene
Causes of overweight and obesity
Lifestyles
o Lack of exercise
o Sedentary lifestyle
o Chronic overeating

Nutrition Diagnosis
Pharmacotherapy
• May be considered in addition to diet, exercise &
behaviour modification
• Decision to initiate drug therapy in overweight
patients should be made only after a careful
evaluation of risks and benefits
• Part of a long-term management strategy to
- aid compliance with dietary restriction
- augment diet-related weight loss
- achieve weight maintenance after
satisfactory weight loss
Indications for Drug Therapy in Obesity
• Must not be used simply for cosmetic purposes or when
weight loss can be achieved and maintained without it
• have had reasonable trial of diet & exercise for 6/12
Criteria
1. BMI between 25 and 27.5 kg/m2, with at least 2 conditions:
• T2DM / CHD / Cerebrovascular disease / HTN /
Hyperlipidaemia / elevated WC (men vs women)
2. BMI ≥27.5 kg/m2
3. Symptomatic complications of obesity such as severe
osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnoea, reflux
oesophagitis, and the compartment syndrome
Drug Therapy in Obesity
• Considered effective if weight loss exceeds 2 kg during the
first month of therapy and decreases more than 5% by 3 to
6 months, with no weight regain
• Therapy must be reviewed after a month of initiation to
assess response and compliance
Types of Anti-obesity drugs :
• Gastrointestinal system to reduce fat absorption
Orlistat (Xenical, Roche Pharma)
• Central nervous system to suppress appetite
Sibutramine (banned in 2010): increased risk of heart
disease
Phentermine
Others: Metformin may be useful: T2DM, IGT, PCOS

Bariatric Surgery
⚫ Various types of surgery on the gastrointestinal tract
⚫ Originally developed to treat morbid obesity (“bariatric
surgery”)
⚫ Gastroplasty procedures: restrictive ( amount of food
entering the gastrointestinal tract)
⚫ Other surgical procedures, such as Roux-en-Y, are
restrictive and cause malabsorption (prevent food from
being absorbed from GIT)
Bariatrics Surgeries
Gastric bypass involves size of the stomach with the stapling procedure, but then
connecting a small opening in the upper portion of the stomach to the small
intestine by means of an intestinal loop.
Complications:
Gastric bypass: lower part of the stomach is omitted, patient may have dumping
syndrome as food empties quickly into the duodenum

Intake
• Is it OK?
Setting the weight loss target
• Aim for realistic weight loss
• 5-10% of initial weight
– ½ - 1 kg /week (Level A)
½ kg of fat = need to reduce 3500 kcal
(require – EN deficit of 500kcal/day x 7
days = 3500 kcal deficit / week)
• Keep initial weight loss for 6 mo
and then reduce further
• If significant reduction unable to
achieve, prevent further weight
gain
Prevalence of successful weight loss:
Learnt from DPP study
• 1000 overweight individuals with IGT were assigned
to an Intensive Lifestyle Intervention (ILI)
Duration
6 months Average weight loss = 7% of initial
weight (~ 7kg)
1 year Maintained weight loss = 6% (6 kg)
3 years 37% of participants maintained
weight loss of 7% or more
Definition of successful weight loss
and maintenance
• “Individuals who have intentionally
lost at least 10% of their body weight
and kept it off at least one year”
68
This can be achieved by…
• Reduce calorie diet (20-25
kcal/kg body weight)
80 kg x (20-25kcal) = (1600 –
2000kcal/day) MINUS 500 kcal/day =
1100 – 1500 kcal/day
