Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For patients watching calories,a low-fat diet makes sense,because fats have a higher concentration of calories per ounce. Drugs are used as adjuncts to weight-loss diets and are reserved for people at increased health risks who have not been able to lose weight after a 6-month program of diet and exercise. The goal for weight loss in the first 6 months is 10% of total body weight. A diet with a higher fat ratio does not necessarily reduce between-meal hunger.
