Obesity, weight loss and New Year’s Resolutions – December 4, 2012
As the holidays approach, many of us are running a gauntlet of high-calorie food, from family dinners with extra helpings to sweet-laden tables at company parties. Is it any wonder that weight loss is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions?
Yet most weight loss efforts fail – and if they do succeed, people don’t usually manage to keep weight off. Today we’re asking: what does the science say?
- Why people become obese?
- Why most weight-loss efforts fail?
- How can you make New Year’s weight loss resolutions likely to succeed?
The SMCC collaborated with Evidencenetwork.ca and their experts to produce a webinar on Tuesday, December 4, 2012.
Panelists:
Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, Medical Director, Bariatric Medical Institute, University of Ottawa
