The National Obesity Forum advocate many ways of tackling obesity.

-They advise increasing activity levels, and put importance on making exercise ‘fun’ and easy by focussing on ordinary activities such as gardening, shopping, and sports.

-They also advise making a personal plan to suit each individual.

-They provide information on how to have a healthy diet and put importance on portion control.

- Advice is also given on 'positive thinking' and how this can impact a person's ability to lose weight.

The NOF also back more drastic and often risky means of weight loss, including very low calorie diets, medication, meal replacements, and even surgery.
