Length: 57:13
Description: This clinical demonstration offers a detailed, real-time look at cognitive behavioral coaching for weight loss and long-term maintenance. Viewers watch how sabotaging thoughts, cravings, emotional eating, and all-or-nothing dieting are addressed through structured thinking tools, planning, and realistic habit change. The work shows how CBT helps people build sustainable eating patterns, tolerate discomfort without giving up, and prevent relapse by changing how they think about food, motivation, and daily choices.
Syllabus Description: The presenters will conduct a live interview with a participant who has struggled to lose weight or maintain a weight loss. They will demonstrate specific techniques to motivate the dieter and help him/her consistently use good eating habits, and solve dieting dilemmas.
Educational Objectives:
- Illustrate essential techniques to help dieters use good eating habits.
- Illustrate essential techniques that will enable dieters to get back on track immediately following a dieting setback.
