Ten patients with obesity and one morbidly obese patient received advice on healthy eating and weight management. None of the patients required additional oral nutrition supplementation.	Healthy eating advice was provided in one session; adherence was verbally confirmed during each supervised exercise session with the exercise physiologist.
