A Hertfordshire Group Adopts a New Approach to Weight Loss
October 25, 2005
A new group has been formed by Professor Julia Buckroyd, the Professor of Counseling of University of Hertfordshire. It will help women who are seriously overweight to lose weight and keep it off. The program will start in January, 2006 and it will be run by the University of Hertfordshire.
The program will last for a duration of 12 months. It will invite women who have serious weight problems, are over 18 and are not involved in any other treatment for weight loss to attend.
Professor Buckroyd, who has proved in recent research that therapy has a role in enabling some women to lose weight and keep it off, believes that eating behavior is determined in part by emotional states. Therefore, according to her, presenting women with just a diet will not work in weight loss or treating obesity.
Professor Buckroyd believes that a complete change of lifestyle which leads to new eating behavior is needed if weight loss is to be achieved and maintained.
