Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. This illness is a global pandemic with a high prevalence in western societies but also fast spreading across developing countries. According to one study, it is predicted that the prevalence of overweight will be more than double among Indian adults aged 20–69 years between 2010 and 2040, while the prevalence of obesity will triple. It is a major risk factor for several lifestyle conditions such as metabolic syndrome, Diabetes, hypertension, CVDs, atherosclerosis and sleep disorders. A wide variety of obesity management strategies are presently practiced including lifestyle changes in terms of diet and physical activity; behavioral treatment strategies to improve adherence to lifestyle interventions; pharmacological and herbal dietary products-based strategies and bariatric surgery for treating extreme cases. The science and philosophy behind a healthy weight management program is to provide a multifaceted support focusing on lifestyle modification with inclusion of the essential components of nutrition, physical activity and even product interventions as weight control measures. Many studies have demonstrated the use of meal replacements as an effective and proven solution in structured weight loss. Similarly, amount and timing of consumption of nutrients like protein and fiber has also been an established evidence in successful weight loss strategies. To add on to the benefit, the gut reset component has been a crucial aspect as well. Trillions of bacteria residing in intestine are known as gut microbiome. These microbes digest the complex carbohydrates and release short chain fatty acids which are known to play crucial role in various metabolic functions including glucose metabolism. Imbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle, lack of sleep, antibiotics can cause an imbalance in the gut microbial ecosystem. This, in turn, is closely associated with weight gain.
