The obesity is a disease whose acceptance is difficult. It presents low uptake to treatment, maintenance and nutritional accompaniment. Currently, most of the health-care services in the country, especially private care, are not able to serve all patients, due to the high demand for cost. Facing the need for new services repair, users are compelled to search for other distinguished services, of high quality and low cost. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to verify the main reasons for abandonment of the nutritional treatment proposed in a nutrition clinic-school. The research was a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out through records of the clinic-school and telephone survey, answered by 150 obese people, male and female, from 21 to 60 years old, who have attended at least two nutrition appointments that constituted the sample of this study. The results indicated that the female gender prevailed (78%), classified as first degree of obesity (64%) and age from 41 to 50 years old (29,9%), treated for less than 30 days (56,41%). 84,61% declared having followed nutrition recommendations and never having gone through psychological treatment. The most cited reasons for abandonment were: lack of time, transportation and self-confidence. It is concluded thereupon that the abandonment of nutrition planning occurred mainly for issues related to the patients' lack of time and their financial and travel difficulties.
