Facing the Obesity Epidemic

Yet, there are relatively few good psychosocial interventions for obesity. Most individuals are successful losing some weight, only to regain it later.

Below are links to help facilitate a discussion of this issue, including a link with a Body Mass Index Calculator (http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/index.htm).
