Proper diet and exercise do work, especially when started at a young age and continued faithfully throughout your life. Unfortunately, for people who are already struggling with obesity, the cards are stacked against them. Diet and exercise work more for prevention or during early treatment of obesity.However, if the body physiology is trying to get your weight back, your attempts to lose weight succeed only temporarily. Once a person's BMI crosses a certain limit, say above 30 kg/m2, the metabolism changes to that of weight regain. Hence, it is not easy to lose weight with diet and exercise if you have severe obesity. Source: LOC. Link: https://obesityasia.com/faqs/. Field: Endocrinology. Disease: Obesity </s>
