Obesity has not, until very recently, featured prominently in medical training. There has been a widespread view that overweight is a sign of a weak personality, a combination of gluttony and apparent sloth. For this reason, medical practitioners are often reluctant to become involved in obesity and weight management. But new understanding is beginning to prevail, as researchers educate the medical community on the many factors involved in obesity, from genetics to demographics. The second edition of this popular handbook provides an up-to-date exploration of obesity. It includes information on weight management for health professionals, and it offers outlines for management plans which can be instituted at a primary care level. The text explains how obesity adversely affects all the systems of the body, so this book is suited not just for general practitioners, but all healthcare professionals.
