Behavior modification in the treatment of obesity.

Seventy obese subjects with a body mass index greater than 25 kg/m2 received a behavioral modification and a daily log self management program for weight loss during an 8-wk treatment period. The program included eating habits, exercise, attitudes, social relationships and nutrition. The results ind...
