Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates weight loss effect of the method LEVA by Bertz et al in subjects with overweight or obesity that are remitted to Primärvårdens Dietistenhet.

Description:

The method "Lifestyle at Effective Weight Loss During Breastfeeding" (LEVA method by Bertz et al) has been scientifically studied to provide sustainable weight loss for women with overweight or obesity after childbirth. Primary health care centers in Västra Götalandsregionen treat adult patients with overweight and obesity. If the LEVA method by Bertz et el also produces weight loss to other patient groups than women post partum, the method could be used as a treatment alternative.
