The purpose of this study has two aims: Aim 1: To compare a medical group visit model versus a dietitian-let model (shared composite group visit approach vs individualized dietitian-led approach) to provide obesity care in a real-world diverse inner city population.

Aim 2. To use both perivascular fat attenuation and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores in those receiving composite group intervention vs. dietitian-led intervention to see if lifestyle intervention can reduce plaque progression and improve perivascular fat attenuation.
