Abstract
Commercial weight loss programs have taken over the weight loss industry as widely accepted and relatively affordable options as a means to lose weight. The need for these programs varies from underequipped physicians to providing reasonably priced alternatives to clinical support. In this chapter, we’ll explore the various types of commercial programs available and the differences between them, ending with a look at how commercial weight loss program providers and consumers can work together to meet consumer demand and deliver outcome-based results.
