India, March 28 -- Diet plays a significant role in maintaining optimal health and weight. Obesity is a serious health risk and can be managed with the right kind of diet and nutrition. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Kedar Patil, bariatric and advanced laparoscopic surgeon, Ruby Hall Clinic said, "The idea that obesity is simply a result of consuming more calories than one burns, often referred to as the calories in, calories out (CICO) model, is an oversimplification of a complex issue. While energy balance plays a fundamental role in weight management, obesity is influenced by multiple factors beyond just calorie intake and expenditure."
