Obesity in GI Care: Diet options

This is episode 2 of 6 from our new program: Obesity in GI Care: Start the Conversation, Change the Narrative. Over the course of 6 podcast episodes and 3 webinars, you'll learn a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating obesity, with a specific focus on patients with GI comorbidities. This series highlights key findings and strategies from AGA’s 2017 Practice guide on Obesity and Weight management, Education and Resources (POWER program). In this episode, our hosts Drs. Andres Acosta and Octavia Pickett-Blakely are joined by Dr. Colleen Tewksbury to discuss: • A deep dive into dietary approaches for obesity management including debating low carb versus low fat diets. • Misconceptions that society has about dietary approaches to weight loss. • The importance of an individualized approach versus a cure-all for everyone.
