Description: With all of the information available why do patients still have difficulty sticking to their diets? Nutritional Counseling for Lifestyle Change provides clinicians with easy-to-follow instructions on how to change dietary behavior. The book uses examples from work completed in actual patient settings and emphasizes why a strategy works and what may have happened when it is not successful. Using science-based predictors of behavior change, it focuses on the concept of "tailoring" for individuals and shows how to achieve it. The book also discusses exercise and stress reduction and covers organizational skills necessary to implement lifestyle change.
