Weight Management

Weight management is the process of adopting long-term lifestyle modification to maintain a healthy body weight based on a person’s age, sex, and height. It includes techniques and physiological processes that contribute to a person’s ability to attain and maintain a certain weight. Most weight management techniques encompass long-term lifestyle strategies that promote healthy eating and daily physical activity.

The treatment is designed to help individuals decrease energy intake and increase energy expenditure by providing clear eating and exercise goals, and ways to monitor these behaviors. It targets poor habits that lead to obesity. These may include unhealthy eating and not exercising. Weight management treatment uses interventions to address these habits. An individual will work closely with a therapist, and this can be done one-on-one or in a group session.
