title: [Weight loss by changing eating behavior: the target goal in therapy of obesity].
abstract: Obesity develops as an interaction of genetic disposition and environmental factors (nutrition, physical activity). Mental disturbances are considered to be a consequence but not the cause of overweight. For long term weight maintenance three factors are important: normalization of fat intake, flexible control of food intake and an increase in physical activity.
