A GP guide to low-carb, healthy-fat diets for obesity

With low-carbohydrate, healthy-fat diets increasing in popularity, know how to support patients in implementing this safe and efficacious option for obesity

GPs care. Most of us are sincerely interested in people, which is why we choose general practice.

This means we are also familiar with the ‘heartsink’ patient, with problems that are tricky to solve.

People with obesity are frequently labelled as such. We all know the statistics, as do these patients. There is an epidemic.

We see it every day in our consulting rooms, and people with obesity live it, day in and day out. We know how difficult it is for obese people who want to lose weight, who try so hard and fail so often.
