Losing weight, for better not worse

Commander [PDF]
   
Obesity and excess weight are in rise, and health risks associated with excess weight in the population also increase. At the same time, having a slim and young body is a desire for many people. In consequences, trying to loose weight is very popular, for person with excess weight as well as for person who has esthetical aspiration.

Now that everybody is looking toward the obesity epidemic, health professionals will be more and more solicited to accompany people in their weight control, answer questions on weight loss or in position to protect people from any slimming proposal. It’s in this optical that Losing weight, for better not worse was produced.

This reference guide does not pretend covering the entire subject of weight related problems, but aims to give health professional important elements they need for better intervention: the basic principles of healthy weight management and principal knowledge on weight-loss products, services and methods (WLPSM), their limits and the risks associated with their use. There are many WLPSM in Québec and the market grows without any control.

Further more, this guide wishes to break the myth that there is a unique solution for anybody, a ready-to-wear for weight loss… In that matter as in many more, a personal approach is always better!
