Webinar: Helping Clients Make Lifestyle Changes That Get and Keep Pounds Off - What Works? (Part 2)
Weight management focuses significantly more attention on weight loss and not nearly enough on helping people who’ve lost weight keep lost pounds off. As dietitians we need to turn more of our attention to helping people minimize weight regain to maximize the health benefits.

Hope will share the cadre of successful strategies for weight maintenance accumulated from research studies and other expertise. She will also share insights gleaned from a panel discussion at the Today's Dietitian 2019 Spring Symposium in with several healthcare providers and their clients who have successfully kept lost pounds off.
