Weight loss- why is it difficult to maintain long term?

This course will empower YOU to understand the science of weight loss and make choices that will really benefit your health. Written by Dr. Esme Banting (Clinical Psychologist) and Heather Pursey (Chartered Physiotherapist) who specialise in weight management, this is a course you will not want to miss.

What this course offers, that most other similar courses don't … is an exploration of how our PSYCHOLOGY affects our relationship with food and eating. And written by a Clinical Psychologist specialising in weight management this really is too good to miss. We start by exploring the (often untold) secrets behind why, for many people, it is SO difficult to lose weight and keep it off in the long term.

Then we turn our attention to the role of diets, and the unexpected and unintended consequences they can have on our weight. You will learn about what actually happens to your body when you go on a diet, and how this can make diets so difficult to stick to over time. Are you a yoyo dietier.

We explain how and why this happens to so many people. And don't worry - we provide the essential first step towards changing your relationship with food and establishing healthy eating patterns for the long term. Next comes an introduction to Set Point Theory which explains why two people can eat the same amount, yet one person gains weight whilst the other stays the same.
