Abstract

The optimal management of overweight and obesity starts with a combination of diet, exercise, and behavioral modification. Behavioral treatment of obesity is a standard part of most treatment programs. The goal of this approach is to help patients make long-term changes in their eating behavior. A principal determinant of weight loss appears to be the degree of adherence to the program. Thus, patient preference is an important consideration when recommending any behavioral weight loss program. Let's close the loop and apply behavioral modification for long term maintenance of weight loss.
