Overview
What is a healthy weight? Multiple factors impact our body weight and size, yet as healthcare providers, we often focus more on the scale readout rather than the behaviors that influence our patients’ weight and health. This module discusses the psychological and physical issues facing those with obesity, along with the impact of chronic dieting and weight bias on health. It also provides tools, such as tips on motivational interviewing, non-diet health goal setting, for the provider to use in clinical practice, and briefly reviews traditional weight management guidelines.
Goals and Learning Outcomes
- Recognize the causes and effects of overweight and obesity in the U.S.
- Describe the psychological and physical impacts of chronic dieting and weight bias.
