Course Summary

Many people are battling with their weight and the health issues that ensue. For many, the challenges are endless, the diets do not last. The consequences can be life-threatening, emotionally devastating, and mentally draining, yet those afflicted often lack the knowledge to make the necessary changes to overcome the addiction. Mental health professionals are only beginning to recognize that some foods can be addictive and many people cannot stop eating because they are “addicted” in the same way an alcoholic is dependent on alcohol.

  2. Identify how food affects the body and how this has made weight loss harder for certain clients.
