Treating individuals with weight problems has many similarities to treatment of other chronic illnesses. For example, hypertension can be treated effectively by current medications. Yet the side-effects of treatment and the need to treat individuals who may have no symptoms of their hypertension lead to high levels of therapeutic failure, including unwillingness of the hypertensive individuals to seek medical help, unwillingness to maintain treatment once prescribed, and termination of treatment because of some of the sideeffects of medications.Treatments for overweight-like those for most chronic illnesses and addictive disordersare palliative, not curative. In the present state of knowledge, we are rarely able to cure obesity associated with distorted energy balance. By cure is meant a treatment which when terminated produces a permanent remission, not requiring further treatment. A simple example of a cure is an appendectomy: the patient is cured by surgical removal of the diseased appendix. Comparable results with treatment for overweight are rare. One example would be effective treatment for Cushing's disease where the primary presenting symptom was obesity. For most cases, we are seeking palliation and alleviation of symptoms associated with obesity, not a cure. Recidivism, or regaining of lost weight, is a third reality of treatment for obesity. Of those who lose weight on any treatment program, a significant percentage will fail to maintain this weight loss.'Identification of those individuals who will be successful in losing weight as opposed to those who will succeed less well is at best an inexact
