Obsesity has been related to the disturbances in feeding behaviour due to the frequent desire of obese patients to lose weight or recover their ideal weight. These people tend to fall into a restrictive feeding conduct or in the so-called diets. The nil or partial efficiency of a diet can lead to the obese patient suffering disturbances in his/her alimentation. It is not enough to only use a medical treatment to attack the numerous organic variables. There is also the need of the intervention of other specialists, such as psychologists and nutritionists, to achieve reliable and lasting treatment and results in obese people.
