AB  - The prevalence of obesity in India is increasing and ranges from 8% to 38% in 
      rural and 13% to 50% in urban areas. Obesity is a risk factor for development of 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary heart 
      disease and many cancers. In Asian Indians excess abdominal and hepatic fat is 
      associated with increased risk for T2DM and cardiovascular disease. There is 
      higher risk for development of obesity related non-communicable diseases at lower 
      body mass index levels, compared to white Caucasians. Despite being a commonly 
      encountered medical problem, obesity poses challenges in treatment. Many Indian 
      physicians find themselves to be lacking time and expertise to prepare an 
      appropriate obesity management plan and patients experience continuous weight 
      gain over time despite being under regular medical supervision. In this article, 
      we outline approaches to obesity management in 'real life mode' and in context to 
      Asian Indian patients.
