BackgroundWeight-loss medications are recommended as an adjunct to a comprehensive program of diet, exercise, and behavior therapy but are typically prescribed with minimal or no lifestyle modification. This practice is likely to limit therapeutic benefits.MethodsIn this one-year trial, we randomly assigned 224 obese adults to receive 15 mg of sibutramine per day alone, delivered by a primary care provider in eight visits of 10 to 15 minutes each; lifestyle-modification counseling alone, delivered in 30 group sessions; sibutramine plus 30 group sessions of lifestyle-modification counseling (i.e., combined therapy); or sibutramine plus brief lifestyle-modification counseling delivered by a primary care provider in eight visits of 10 to 15 minutes each. All subjects were prescribed a diet of 1200 to 1500 kcal per day and the same exercise regimen.ResultsAt one year, subjects who received combined therapy lost a mean (+/-SD) of 12.1+/-9.8 kg, whereas those receiving sibutramine alone lost 5.0+/-7.4 kg, those treated by lifestyle modification alone lost 6.7+/-7.9 kg, and those receiving sibutramine plus brief therapy lost 7.5+/-8.0 kg (P
