Why Obesity Patients Regain Weight | Dr Sanjeev Phatak

Why do many obesity patients discontinue treatment or regain the weight they have lost? Is it only because the patient lacks discipline or are we missing something important? In this Medical Marvel conversation, renowned diabetologist Dr Sanjeev Phatak explains why obesity should be understood as a chronic and relapsing disease. In this episode, we discuss: • Why blaming the patient can affect treatment outcomes • Why patients regain weight after stopping treatment • Why diet and walking alone may not be enough • The importance of resistance training • Why one treatment plan cannot work for every patient • How lifestyle and financial condition affect treatment continuity • Why realistic counselling and regular follow-up are necessary The biggest learning from this conversation is simple: A treatment plan should not only be medically correct. It should also be realistic enough for the patient to continue. At The Medical Marvel, we explore everything around medicine that can help a good doctor build a better practice and a better professional life.
