Abstract:In recent years,there has been some intemational consensus on the nutrition management of overweight/obesity.However,the management of nutrition and lifestyle interventions must be compatible with specific regional dietary habits and social culture.In 2016,sixty-seven experts from obesity and clinical nutrition field jointly drafted the first Chinese expert consensus on overweight/ obesity medical nutrition therapy,so that the weight loss would be more scientific,standardized and easy to achieve.We hope the consensus will improve the awareness of importance of nutrition intervention on treatment of metabolic disease,further regulate the principle and approach of medical nutrition therapy,and establish workflow of standardized medical nutrition therapy for weight loss management,so that more clinical nutrition professionals and medical staffcan use it to provide better services for Chinese obese people.
