Behavior Change Strategies + Social Support: A Scientific Approach to Weight Management

Image
Breaking bad nutrition and fitness habits can be complicated. Through constant repetition, they become part of our lives.

These studies were held over varying time periods and with various groups but all suggest that when it comes to weight management, the combination of two approaches is most likely to work for substituting bad habits with healthy ones: behavior change strategies reinforced by social support. Habits are, essentially, patterns of behavior, so by tackling a pattern, you are working on breaking the habit itself. Scientific literature stresses...
