The increasing prevalence of obesity and its associated comorbidities have led to the need for intensive prevention and treatment of this serious disease by primary care physicians. The treatment of obesity is focused on lifestyle modifications based on physical activity and dietary measures. These interventions will be only effective with the full cooperation of a motivated patient. The text gives an overview of the current options for dietary measures and physical activity in obese patients in general practitioners' offices. Special attention is paid to the possibilities of cooperation between general practitioners and nutritional therapists.

Keywords: obesity, regimen measures, physical activity, dietary measures, primary prevention.
