Question

What is an example of cognitive restructuring for weight control?

Answer 1

Studies show that over 50% of Americans are overweight and over 30% are considered obese. While various surgical procedures and medications can be effective in the short term, they typically don't have long term effects and they come with additional risks and side effects. That is why many exercise and nutritional counselors have turned instead to cognitive therapy/restructuring for weight control.

Answer 2

Answer:

In order to lose weight you have to change your thinking.

Explanation:

Any diet will work if you can change the sabotaging thoughts that accompany unhealthy behavior and replace it with healthy responses. It is not about the diet, it is about your thinking. Most people need a coach, because if they knew how to think like a thin person they would be thin. You must learn how to catch destructive thinking and replace it again, and again and again.
