One in three Albertans grapples with obesity, but help should be on the way from the medical community, report says.

Obesity Canada outlines three pillars of obesity management: behavioural modification, pharmacotherapy and bariatric surgery.

Alberta is waiting to see where obesity will fit in with Alberta ’s “ four health authority” in the wake of the dismantling of Alberta Health Services .

“If we treat obesity first , we have the potential to remove a lot of conversations about 200 other diseases because we’ll get ahead of the diabetes, the hypertension, liver disease, the cardiac issues.

Diet and exercise are not a treatment plan for a chronic disease, Schaffer said.

“Weight is not a behaviour; it’s an outcome. You’re never really going to be able to control (it) the way that you think you can, so move to things that you can control,” she said.
