OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of diet alone vs interdisciplinary therapy. METHOD: 256 women were divided into an interdisciplinary therapy group composed of 102 subjects and a control group composed of 154 subjects treated by means of diet alone. RESULTS: 21.56% of the interdisciplinary group did not come for the 2 check-ups compared with 49.35% of the diet group (p < 0.001). A weight loss of 5.88 kg and 4.18 kg for the interdisciplinary and the diet group was recorded 8 weeks after the start of the programme (second check-up). DISCUSSION: Interdisciplinary therapy is necessary to personalize treatment and satisfy the patient's desire and need for appropriate and effective management.
