Behavioural Therapy for Weight Loss

Behavioural therapy for weight loss helps you identify and change the habits, thoughts, and environmental triggers that lead to overeating. It includes techniques like keeping a food diary, setting realistic goals, and learning to recognise emotional eating patterns. This approach is often the foundation of long-term weight management success.

Behavioural therapy for weight loss applies principles of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to obesity management, targeting maladaptive eating behaviours through self-monitoring, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, problem-solving, and relapse prevention. Core techniques include goal setting (SMART criteria), reinforcement strategies, and identifying automatic thoughts that drive disinhibited eating.

While medications and surgery provide biological tools for weight loss, behavioural therapy addresses the psychological and environmental factors that drive weight regain. Dr. Joseph Wang integrates behavioural strategies into Accord Medical’s weight management programme for lasting results.
