It describes how both parties are frustrated by weight-loss plans and programs that fail in the long term, and it presents a science-based explanation for why diets fail and how they, in fact, may adversely impact patients' mental and physical health The authors illustrate how providers can truly help patients by using empathy, compassion, and motivational interviewing. They explain how helping patients strengthen skills related to self-awareness, emotional management, stress reduction, appetite attunement, perserverance, and effective self-care can improve self-efficacy and support sustained movitation in improving health and wellness-promoting behaviors. The issue of weight stigma is addressed, along with how professionals' views of their own eating and weight can affect the patient-provider relationship.
