Obesity Flashcards
Learn basic weightloss management medicine and techniques
Contrave (wellbutrin/naltrexone) dosing
90mg/8mg
Ramp up weekly 1 tab po qam, 1 tab po bid, 2 tabs qam and 1 po qpm, 2 tabs po bid
Contrave contraindications
- seizure disorder
- opiate use
- uncontrolled HTN
- within 14 days of MAOIs
- caution is current alcohol or bzd use
Contrave actions
Good if food cravings and addictive behavior, depression, smoking cessation,
other substance cessation
Liraglutide (saxenda) dosing
- GLP-1 agonist
- 5-10% wt loss
Victoza dose for dm2 only up to 1.8 mg
Saxenda dose is 3 mg (studies haven’t been done to assess cardiovascular
prevention)
• Start at 0.6 mg and go up by 0.6 mg weekly up to 3 mg, but many
people can’t always do the full titration due to SEs
D/c if <4% body weight after 16 weeks at 3 mg
Liraglutide contraindications
pancreatitis, family or PH medullary thyroid cancer (MEN-2)
Lorcaserin dosing
No generic, so more costly
- can get up to 10% wt loss
- start 10 mg ER before dinner
- 10 mg bid or 20 mg ER daily
- stop if <5% wt loss at 12 wks
Lorcaserin SEs
HA, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, dry mouth, constipation
though SEs low with this medication
Lorcaserin contraindications
- Theoretic risk of valvulopathy (prior seen in Phen-phen), but not same receptor
affinity as lorcaserin - Risk for serotonergic over-activity, avoid prescribing with other serotonergic
agents
Qysmia (phentermine/topamax) dosing
- if dosing separately, give phentermine in AM and topamax 1 hr prior to dinner (helps with nighttime eating)
- Start 3.75 for 2 weeks then 7.5 for 1 month, then may escalate up each
month
• 3.75 is considered acclimation dose, not the one that really achieves weight loss. Some may benefit from it as maintenance though
• 7.5/46 is considered normal maintenance dose, most people achieve
weight there. Higher doses are for people not losing weight
▪ Stop if not 5% weight loss after 12 weeks on maximum dose
Qysmia contraindications
uncontrolled HTN, CAD, glaucoma, nephrolithiasis,
insomnia, anxiety, okay if well-controlled HTN with close monitoring
Qysmia SEs
dry mouth, paresthesia, constipation, abn taste in mouth, insomnia, glaucoma
- metabolic acidosis
- elevated Cr
▪ Gradual escalation of doses, helps minimize SEs

general principles of healthy diet
Avoid:
- highly processed foods
- sweets, junk foods
- energy dense beverages
Encourage:
- healthy proteins and fats
- veggies, fruits, berries
- nut, legumes, whole grains
- complex carbs over simple
- low GI over high GI
- high fiber over low fiber
- read labels
Saturated fats
- carbon chain fatty acids with no double bonds
- solid or semisolid at room temp
- less likely to become oxidized and rancid
- coconut and palm oils have large amounts of
- Found in meats, dairy, vegetable oils
- can impair endothelial function
Polyunsaturated fats
- carbon chain fatty acids with multiple double bonds
- liquid at room temp
- ie: vegetable and fish oils
- include nuts, omega 3s from fish
monounsaturated fats
- carbon chain fatty acids with one double bond
- liquid at room temp
- ie: olive and canola oil
resistive strength training
- emphasize “core” m exercises
- use variety of free weights, machines, and bands
- sore m can be normal
- sore joints mean poor technique
METS
- metabolic equivalent tasks
- equal to amt of energy expended during 1 min while lying down to rest
- kcal = METS x wt x time
- standing = 2
- walking 4 mph = 4
- running 10 mph = 16
types of resistance

- denying
- ignoring
- interrupting
ways to roll with resistance
- simple reflection (restate what the patient has said about themself)
- shift focus back to most important issues
- reframe the concerns the patient has
identify discrepancy
- find mismatch between patients today and how they want to be in the future
- find contrasts between current behavior and life goals
amplify discrepancy
- can help resolve ambivalence
- can facilitate thoughts of change
resolve ambivalence
- discuss benefits for change, risks of change, and benefit/risk of no change
illicit talk of change
- how important is it
- what will happen if they don’t change
- how do actions fit values
- how do they plan to change
Change metrics
- scale 1-10 rate how important the change is (facilitates talks of benefits)
- scale 1-10 rate readiness to change (facilitates talks of stage of readiness)
- scale 1-10 rate confidence in ability to change (facilitates talks of barriers)

wt loss and neurohormonal changes
Promotes wt gain:
- dec leptin, insulin, cholecystokinin, peptide YY which all inc appetite
- inc ghrelin which inc appetite
- continuous high levels of insulin and leptin lead to resistance which limits appetite reduction when people are obese
why people regain weight
- neuro-biologic processes to resist under-nutrition
- weak resistance of body to overnutrition
- neurohoromonal changes that stimulate appetite
- resistance to insulin and leptin
- lack of routine maintenance for diet and exercise after
- decreased resting energy expenditure
- greater m efficiency so less energy expended in PA
