Abstract

The first foundational component of treating obesity is changing the way people interact with food. Helping patients understand the impact of food, not just in quantity, on their health is a key to successful treatment.

COURAGE DOESN’T ALWAYS ROAR. SOMETIMES COURAGE IS THE QUIET VOICE AT THE END OF THE DAY SAYING ‘I WILL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW.’
