For overnourished individuals, reducing caloric intake through direct reduction, dietary restriction, or time restriction is the primary strategy.

“therefore most people when you go through that whole treatment algorithm are going to be in the I need to eat less Camp if you are in the I need to eat less Camp you now have three ways to do that three strategies if you will the first is directly reducing caloric intake so that says agnostic to what or when I eat I will simply eat less this is the most direct way to do it um it has lots of pluses and minuses which I've discussed in so much detail in other podcast that we'll link to the second method is I will identify something or some set of things in the diet that I will remove from the diet I will restrict them this is called dietary restriction and the more restrictive the elements of your diet the more effective this this technique is so if you only choose to restrict lettuce this will have no effect if you restrict everything but potatoes meaning if the only thing you allow yourself to eat is potatoes this will have an enormous effect so again the more you restrict the better that works and then the third strategy is time restriction where you limit the window in which you eat and the narrower and narrower that window the greater the likelihood that you will overall induce a caloric deficit”
