Obese Australians are turning to fad diets and fake cures after national guidelines based on decade-old evidence expired, leaving doctors hamstrung to fight the growing epidemic.
An alliance of GPs, nurses, obesity experts and state health departments is calling for Australian governments to fill the void left by the lapsed guidelines that expired in 2018 and establish a new clinical framework.
Lyn Keppler is an advocate for clinical assessment for treating obesity.
