Psychological interventions for overweight or obesity



In the study to assess the effects of psychological interventions for overweight or obesity as a means of achieving sustained weight loss, indicated that people who are overweight or obese benefit from psychological interventions, particularly behavioural and cognitive-behavioural strategies, to enhance weight reduction. They are predominantly useful when combined with dietary and exercise strategies. The bulk of the evidence supports the use of behavioural and cognitive-behavioural strategies. Other psychological interventions are less rigorously evaluated for their efficacy as weight loss treatments(1).
