Abstract
Based on the 2019 Health Survey for England, nearly two thirds of the adult population and one third of children (aged 2–15 years) are either overweight or obese (1). In England, obesity affects 28% of adults, 20% of boys and 13% of girls (1). Obesity is a chronic, often life-long disease that associates with >50 weight-related conditions, most notably type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), and other dysmetabolic conditions that contribute towards the metabolic syndrome and many other conditions that impact on nearly every aspect of physiology and mental functioning (2). Obesity has a huge economic burden, with government estimates indicating the current costs of obesity in the UK at £6.1 billion to the National Health Service (NHS), and £27 billion to wider society (1). Despite this, obesity remains fundamentally misunderstood and neglected. This is reflected by woeful under-funding of management strategies for obesity (despite many of these being highly efficacious), guidelines that place time-limitations on potentially effective therapies (with possible negative outcomes that stem from subsequent weight re-gain), and a prevailing fog of obesity-related stigma that seems to pervade its way throughout society like a contagion.
