This approachable guide to weight management follows a Q&A format, exploring how an individual's weight and their efforts to manipulate it can impact both physical and psychological wellbeing.
This book offers a broad introduction to weight management – a topic that is often shrouded in controversy, confusion, and misinformation. The book's 50 questions cover the basics of weight management, the factors that influence weight, different strategies for managing weight, and the impact of weight and weight-control methods on physical and mental health. The volume also examines the roles society and culture play in our attitudes toward weight. Weight Management: Your Questions Answered offers readers common-sense, evidence-based suggestions to improve their relationship with weight and steer clear of potentially harmful beliefs and behaviors.
Augmenting the main text, a collection of 5 case studies illustrate key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. The Common Misconceptions section at the beginning of the volume dispels 5 long-standing and potentially dangerous myths about weight management, directing readers to additional information in the text. The glossary defines terms that may be unfamiliar to readers, while the directory of resources curates a list of the most useful books, websites, and other materials. Finally, whether they're looking for more information about this subject or any other health-related topic, readers can turn to the Guide to Health Literacy section for practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the Internet.
