Dieting is a good choice for some people but not for others |
|
The eating disorders that have received the most attention, both in the popular media and in the scientific literature, are anorexia nervosa and bulimia |
|
Therefore, even modest weight loss can be important for those who are obese |
|
On the contrary, the factors that influence obesity in adolescents are the same as those in adults |
|
In addition, behaviour modification programmes with obese children have greater success in promoting permanent weight loss than similar programmes with adults |
