- Standing at a workstation rather than sitting for long periods of time - Use stairs instead of taking the elevator

Fad diets often promote rapid weight loss, which is harmful because weight loss during the first few weeks of a diet program is attributed to:

- fluid loss - lean muscle mass loss

Other considerations for bariatric surgery in addition to patient selection criteria that include:
