Non-Dieting, Weight-Acceptance Approaches for Clients With Weight-Associated Diseases
Health Behavior
October 2024
How are non-dieting, self-acceptance-based approaches used when clients have chronic diseases for which weight loss is often recommended? This webinar helps clinicians apply and modify non-weight-loss approaches to target chronic disease, improve client physical health, and advocate for clients who face fat stigma and chronic disease stigma in health care and non-health-care contexts. Attendees will be able to describe the evidence supporting non-dieting, self-acceptance approaches, critique recommendations to lose weight for chronic disease management, and help clients advocate against weight discrimination they may experience in health care.
