What actually works
- •Prescription medications → highest weight loss seen in trials (up to 20.9%)
- •Diet → works if you can sustain it — caloric deficit is the foundation

- •Supplements → limited evidence — most produce less than 2 kg of extra weight loss

What's realistic?

- •Different approaches produce different weight loss ranges

Not ready for medication yet?

What treatment actually feels like
