Description

Weight Management

A Practitioner s Guide Dympna Pearson and Clare Grace

Amid an alarming rise in the prevalence of obesity, there has been a similar rapid expansion in the theory and evidence base surrounding its management but limited detail on the practical application of lifestyle treatments. This exciting new book provides practitioners and those studying to become healthcare professionals with a much-needed modern guide which clearly presents the latest evidence underpinning obesity interventions and how to deliver these in practice.

Written by renowned experts Dympna Pearson and Clare Grace, the book is intended as a ready reference for those working in both acute and community settings throughout the different and demanding stages of the weight management process. It explains how effective evidence-based programmes, structured to address the key components of diet and physical activity and integrated with a behavioural approach, can achieve improved outcomes. Bringing together evidence of best practice, it considers in detail the practical application of these approaches and provides clear answers to frequently encountered challenges.
