First-line management of overweight and obesity is primarily through lifestyle modifications, such as kilojoule restriction and increased physical activity. A large number of non-pharmacological products are available that can aid patients in managing their weight. The product class with the greatest evidence base for effectiveness as an obesity treatment is meal replacements, used in very low energy diets (VLEDs) or low energy diets (LEDs).
