Obesity is treated by applying a non-ablative, non-systemic therapy to a vagus nerve of an obese patient at a site below a vagal innervation of a heart. The therapy is selected to at least partially down-regulate a neural activity on the vagus nerve of the obese patient. The therapy is applied in a manner to down-regulate at least afferent signals on the vagus nerve.
