Obesity and overweight : a clinical guidebook

---

This book is designed to be a guide for the primary care clinician and the
specialist who are interested in providing a comprehensive weight management
program to their patients in need. We do not feel however, that this guidebook is all
that is required to combat the nutritional glut this country seems to be in. Major
changes in policy are required to modify the toxic environment we live in and to
provide the resources, counseling and reimbursement capacity that physicians, nurse
practitioners, psychologists, physical therapists/exercise physiologists, and dieticians
need to treat obesity.

Several authors have called for nutrition as a subspecialty in both adult and
pediatric medicine [23–26]. There seems to be no more poignant time than now for
physician nutrition specialists. There are too few of us currently to make a difference;
however the wheels are in motion with the founding of the Intersociety Professional
Nutrition Education Consortium and the American Board of Physician Nutrition
Specialists [23–27] and the support from societies such as the American Society for
Nutrition and NAASO—the Obesity Society. We have observed an increase in physicians
taking the Nutrition Boards each year, and what is lacking to continue this
momentum is the inclusion of more nutrition fellowship training programs in the
U.S., and eventually recognition by the American Board of Medicine. With 65% of
adults and 31% of children considered overweight or obese in the U.S., many
physicians are interested in learning the tools they need to treat this overwhelming
disease.
