As for NICE it will be interesting. The benefit economically is massive though since obesity causing an absurd amount of cost to the NHS. I think issues relating to weight and diabetes is 2nd only to old age care in terms of cost.

But the question is if it can be maintained. Losing weight is one thing but keeping it off is another and it's very common for people to return to their pre-diet weight after they've stopped dieting. It's only effective as a precursor to a permanent change in diet. The NHS can't keep paying this for life so maybe it's only prescribed as part of a bigger program for patients.
