Recommendations for prevention of weight gain

This guideline, "Recommendations for prevention of weight gain and use of behavioural and pharmacological interventions to manage overweight and obesity in adults in primary care", has recently been published by the  Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. The objective of the guideline was to provide evidence-based recommendations for structured interventions aimed at preventing weight gain in adults of normal weight. And to also provide recommendations for behavioural and pharmacologic interventions for weight loss to manage overweight and obesity in adults, including those at risk of type 2 diabetes.
