AB  - Obesity is a multifaceted and complex condition that requires holistic 
      management. It currently affects nearly one in four adults in the UK, with the UK 
      ranked 10th globally for the highest obesity rates. Obesity is projected to have 
      an economic burden of  approximately  pound2 billion per year by 2030 in the UK.(1) Excess weight 
      gain can coincide with myriad health concerns and multiple health conditions, 
      which can be physical, metabolic or psychosocial. This includes type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, coronary heart disease, osteoarthritis, 
      obstructive sleep apnoea, reproductive disorders, depression and cancer(2); 
      hence, there has been a significant emphasis on obesity prevention. Obesity is 
      often associated with weight stigma, impacting psychological wellbeing and 
      quality of life. This can influence an individual's likelihood of seeking 
      support, delaying appropriate input from healthcare professionals, with a 
      knock-on effect on pre-existing health conditions. This review explores the 
      management of obesity from a nutritional perspective, because modifying dietary 
      intake is essential to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases, including 
      those associated with obesity.
