Current treatment of obesity exemplified in a case study.
In a single case study, a 29-year-old man was successfully treated for obesity using a behavior therapy approach. He was taught to monitor his eating, exercise, correct misconceptions and develop appropriate strategies to change these in order to achieve the desired weight loss and develop a healthier lifestyle. As a result of significant changes in eating and exercise habits, significant weight loss occurred during treatment, and continued at 6-month follow up.
