Dieting Overweight and Obesity Self Regulation in a Food Rich Environment examines why self regulation of weight is so difficult for many people In light of the fact that overweight and obesity has been increasing so dramatically that the World Health Organization has declared it a global epidemic author Wolfgang Stroebe explores the genetic environmental and psychological influences on weight gain The author explains the history of bodyweight standards details the emotional and physical consequences of being overweight and explores the various treatment and prevention plans for obesity In reviewing the numerous psychological theories that explain people s problems with weight Stroebe points out that each does not take into consideration the desire for palatable food He then presents the goal conflict theory which assumes that chronic dieters who have difficulties in controlling their weight often disregard bodily cues of hunger and satiety not because they are unable to recognize them but because they do not want to recognize them Their eating behavior is dominated by a conflict between two incompatible goals the goal of enjoying palatable food and the goal of losing weight This book gives readers a comprehensive understanding of the issues involving weight gain and dieting Psychologists and medical professionals in the field of weight management will find this book to be an indispensable resource
