FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, in particular to methods of weight correction, and may be used for alimentary obesity. For this purpose, autonomous electrical stimulators of the gastrointestinal tract are introduced in the period of weight correction.

Then 2-5 days later, a diet therapy accompanied by a balanced diet is prescribed. At the final stage, the electrical stimulator is introduced once again. The method also involves the use of the electric stimulators, an anode electrode coated with a layer of microelements involved in the digestion and/or metabolism, e.g. zinc, chromium, selenium, copper, and iron.

EFFECT: method provides the effective weight reduction, including by the recovery the intestinal peristaltic function and the more reliable enforcement of a patient's psychological result set, while minimising the negative side effects of the treatment.
