There is no such thing as a quick fix. Fad diets, which eliminate or severely reduce certain food groups, may result in brief weight loss, but weight management is about reaching and maintaining a healthy weight for life. Weight management can benefit you personally and professionally, by improving overall health, preventing chronic disease, enhancing performance, and increasing resilience. You can achieve a permanent healthy weight by eating a balanced diet of nutrient-dense food and engaging in regular physical activity. The Health Promotion and Wellness Department of the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center offers tools and materials to help you lose or gain weight, or maintain a healthy weight.

Clinicians

Clinical guidance, including recognition, management and clinical isolation guidance are generally covered by CDC:
CDC Clinical Overview
 
Clinical management for Fleet medical personnel can be found in the NMCFHPC Fleet Mpox Medical Guidance
 
Clinical guidance for MTFs can be found in the DHA Mpox Guidance Update_5Sept2024

Currently, neither mpox testing nor treatment are readily available in a forward deployed operational setting. Units should identify suspected cases, isolate them, and move them for care at an MTF when operationally feasible.
