Research Basis for ecSatter: Resolving the Adult Weight Dilemma

On-demand webinar for professionals by Ellyn Satter, MS, MSSW

Health policy says to lose weight and keep it off.  It pathologizes normal weight by defining the normal weight cutoff at the median – BMI (Kg/M2) 24.9 – and says it’s better to lose and gain it back, than not lose at all. 

One is reminded of the quandary of Sisyphus, who was condemned to an eternity of pushing a boulder up a mountain, only to have it roll down again.

The weight dilemma is that it can’t be done!  The weight dilemma is that at the same time as we are being told by health policy makers – that any degree of overweight is medically dangerous, there is no way to lose weight and keep it off. 

Are you feeling caught in the dieting world, and looking for a better way? This webinar addresses health policy at the same time as it supports weight-neutral intervention.
