Conquering Obesity - Lance Levy

For men and women who are obese, the weight loss journey is about much more than shedding a few pounds. Obesity can lead to serious health risks and problems -- both physical and psychological -- and the struggle to cope can be a frustrating, life-long endeavour. It doesn't have to be this way. In Conquering Obesity, medical nutrition specialist Dr Lance Levy offers a highly individual approach for dealing with weight management that recognises obesity as a symptom of a larger, often undiagnosed, problem. This updated edition includes the latest information on the links between obesity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the effectiveness of cognitive and psychodynamic therapies, night-time eating syndrome, and the non-negotiable time commitment needed to work on diet and lifestyle changes. Augmented with extensive case studies and data from Levy's own successful practice, this book offers hope to anyone fighting the battle of weight management.
