Written with the express needs of practitioners and related health professionals at its core, this book will be a ready reference for those working in both acute and community settings throughout the different and demanding stages of the weight management process.∗ A practical guide to tackling weight management ∗ Covers diet, exercise and behavioural therapy & lowast; Written for health professionals, by health professionalslowast; Includes advice on continuity of care and handling group programmes"--
