Nutritional Counseling for Lifestyle Change

Despite all the information available, patients often have difficulty maintaining a proper diet. This text provides clinicians with easy-to-follow instructions on how to change dietary behavior. The book uses examples from work completed in actual patient settings and emphasizes why a particular strategy may have worked and what may have happened when it is not successful. Using science-based predictors of behavior change, it focuses on the concept of "tailoring" for individuals and shows how to achieve it. The book also discusses exercise and stress reduction and covers organizational skills necessary to implement lifestyle change.
