Abstract
In recent years, the role of herbal and nutritional supplements, hypnosis, and acupuncture in treatment of obesity has great attention. As these alternative methods not only help in treatment of obesity but also help to maintain the weight loss and prevent regain. For safety and efficacy issues, not all herbal and nutritional supplements are helpful for treatment of obesity. The most helpful herbal supplement is green tea as its regular consumption may help to lose weight and maintain the lost weight. Cr-III supplements might improve body composition, but used with monitoring renal function if used in patients with known renal disease. Regular practice of one or more of hypnotherapeutic techniques can benefit individuals who wish to maintain or lose weight. Acupuncture may be useful aid for treatment of obesity. We can not use alternative methods alone to treat obesity but, we should use them in combination with traditional methods in a multidimensional approach to treat obesity.
