No weight loss technique is designed to be the only “tool in the toolbox”. Long-term body weight management is optimized by using a combination of changing food choices and eating habits, and possibly, for some people, surgery. Unfortunately, there is no dietary, medical, or surgical treatment that can guarantee a specific or satisfactory weight loss in every person. In the few studies published in the last several years, a small number of patients reportedly decreased their excess body weight, though, the outcome in a significant number of patients over years is not known at this time.
