Abstract:
The fact that diets are an ineffective prescription for obesity has prompted the development of a number of behavioral treatments for this condition. Dieting, which substitutes a rigid, often highly abnormal eating pattern for the existing abnormal pattern, causes only a temporary change in eating behaviour. The only way to prevent the recurrence of being overweight is to make a permanent change through behaviour modification.
