Answer to Question #130919 in Human Anatomy and Physiology for gaby

Question

In what cases do diet and exercise not address obesity?

Answer 1

obesity has a lot to do with underlying biological issues in the body that dieting simply can't change.most involved genetically

in those with chronic obesity, body weight seems to become biologically 'stamped in' and defended when subjected to exercise and diet 

treatment for obesity has expanded beyond calorie-counting to include medical interventions such as bariatric surgery, prescription medications and even a medical device that blocks the vagal nerve, which is the main communication pathway between the stomach and other organs, and is involved in a number of digestive processes in the body. The process may act to reduce body weight effectively

an increased focus on the biological factors underlying obesity will lead to more effective treatment.rather than dwelling on exercise and dieting because some cases are caused by genes

studies have shown that weight loss surgery may be the most effective and longest-lasting treatment for obesity.
