What three pieces of advice would you offer to a patient who is having difficulty accepting a healthy body weight
?I would suggest that the patient accept that there is not anything magical about weight loss-it will take time and hard work. Instead of dieting to lose weight, change your lifestyle to accommodate a healthy diet and exercise routine. Finally, seek help from friends, family or a medical professional to help deal with any psychological issues that may be hindering their perspective.
