Description

This study explored the weight management experiences of normal-and obese-weight adults. Normal-weight adults focus on living while automatically maintaining weight within self-defined limits, whereas obese-weight adults focus on food and their weight. With this knowledge, new dietary, cognitive, and lifestyle weight management strategies can be developed to overcome food-centric, weight-promoting influences.
