Intensive Behavioral Therapy for Obesity

What is intensive behavioral therapy for obesity?

Intensive behavioral therapy is a treatment for obesity. Through this treatment, you learn how to change your eating and exercise habits. This helps you lose weight.

Intensive behavioral therapy can work very well. It targets poor habits that lead to obesity. These may include unhealthy eating and not exercising. The treatment uses interventions to fix these poor habits.

You will work closely with a therapist. This could be done one-on-one or in a group session. You will learn how to change your lifestyle to lose weight. Specifically, you may learn how to:

  • Track your eating
  • Change your environment to avoid overeating
  • Increase your activity level
  • Create an exercise plan
  • Set realistic goals

By making these changes, you may be able to lose a lot of weight. You are also likely to keep the pounds off.

Some parts of behavioral therapy are often the same as those in other weight-loss programs. These include self-help groups and commercial weight-loss programs.

Why would I need intensive behavioral therapy for obesity?

If you weigh too much, you should try to lose weight. This is important if you are obese. Weighing too much increases your risk for health problems. These include:

  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Sleep apnea
  • Liver disease
  • Stroke
  • Infertility
  • Some lung diseases
  • Some cancers
  • Mental health problems

Intensive behavioral therapy can help you lose weight and keep it off. It can also help you change your eating and exercise habits. This can help you lose weight. Your healthcare provider may suggest this therapy if you are obese. He or she may also recommend it if you have trouble making lifestyle changes on your own. Behavioral therapy for obesity can help you prevent complications from diseases such as diabetes over the long term.

What are the risks of intensive behavioral therapy for obesity?

Some people can’t reach their weight loss goals using intensive behavioral therapy alone. Some people have other things that contribute to their weight issues. These can include hormone problems or family history of weight problems. Most people find that intensive behavioral therapy can be part of a successful weight-loss plan.

This therapy doesn’t use any risky weight-loss techniques. Your weight loss should be safe and steady.

How do I get ready for intensive behavioral therapy for obesity?

Ask your healthcare provider how to prepare for your first appointment. You may need to keep a food diary for several days. In it, you will record all of the food you eat in that time. It’s important to be honest. This is so you have an accurate record of your food habits. You should also be ready to talk about your current diet and fitness habits.

What happens during intensive behavioral therapy for obesity?

This therapy involves many parts. Your program may focus on certain parts over others. It also may add other methods. Ask your therapist about the details of your program.

Making small changes

Behavioral therapy focuses on making small and realistic changes. Dramatic changes may work for a short time. But they are less likely to lead to lasting weight loss.

Screening for depression

Your behavioral therapist will also screen you for signs of depression. Obesity and depression often go hand-in-hand.  

Self-monitoring

Self-monitoring is a key part of this type of therapy. You may need to keep a food and fitness journal for several weeks or months. You may need to write down what, when, and how much you eat.

Taking action to prevent overeating

You will learn how to gain control over the times in which you overeat. For instance, you may need to keep all unhealthy foods out of your home. You may also need to use smaller plates. Your therapist may also ask you to focus on eating without distractions. This means turning off the TV or your phone.  

Your plan may also include:

  • Learning how to eat more slowly and notice when you are full
  • Setting realistic weight-loss goals
  • Using small rewards to motivate yourself
  • Learning about nutrition. This may include making meal plans.
  • Being more active. You may set up a formal fitness plan.
  • Getting social support. Your spouse or family members may be involved.
  • Learning how to think more positively
  • Reducing stress. This may decrease stress eating.
  • Identifying and overcoming weight-loss obstacles

At first, you may meet with your therapist once a week for a few months. Then you may move into a maintenance phase. You may meet once every 2 weeks or once a month.

Depending on your case, you may also use other methods to help lose weight. For instance, some people lose more weight if they eat pre-made meals. Some people may also need to take medicine to decrease their appetites or treat depression.

What happens after intensive behavioral therapy for obesity?

Intensive behavioral therapy often lasts for many months. Even after you have reached your goal weight, it may still be helpful to meet with your therapist or support group. This might be extra helpful if your weight loss has leveled off or if you have started gaining weight again.

How well this therapy works depends on what you put into it. Your therapist can teach you, but you must change your habits. The members of your support group can also help.

Your therapist can help you set realistic weight-loss goals. Keep in mind that losing weight takes hard work and time. Making small changes in your lifestyle can have long-term effects. It can be challenging to make these changes, but the benefits are worth it. Remember that even a modest weight loss can help your health.

Maintaining your weight loss is just as important as losing it. You may be more likely to keep the weight off if you stick with your goals.

Tell your healthcare provider about how your therapy is going. Many people make progress through behavioral therapy, but others aren’t as successful. Ask your healthcare provider about your weight-loss options. Taking medicines or working with a nutritionist may help. Or you may want to consider weight-loss surgery.

'I Went To Therapy To Lose Weight—Here’s What I Learned'

Before: 190 lbs
After: 145 lbs

When I was growing up, my mother was always on a diet. I quickly learned that there were "good" foods and there were "bad" foods. I was allowed to have one soda on Fridays and one glass of juice on Sundays. Meals were to be eaten at certain times and any extra snacking was a no-no.

Our refrigerator always had pre-packaged meals in it. Still, just like my parents, I was overweight. The first time I was called "fat," I was 5 years old.

My History Of Dieting

When I hit 275 pounds at the end of my freshman year of college, my dieting became more extreme than ever. I lost 75 pounds and gained it all back twice. I would follow a diet perfectly for a while (although, in hindsight, I realize my diets involved drastically under-nourishing myself), but if I had one bite of a "bad" food, I was convinced that I had blown it all and binged.

I also punished myself with exercise. Once, at a baby shower, I ate several handfuls of pretzels, and the rest of the time all I could think about was how I needed to run them off.

Why I Got Help

In November of 2012, a co-worker told me that she was going to see a therapist for addiction issues, and I decided to try out therapy for myself.

I knew that my eating tended to feel the most out of control when I was anxious or upset. But I didn’t know how to make it stop or why I couldn’t lose the weight for good.

I started seeing a therapist twice a month and quickly found myself opening up in ways I never had before. I was so used to just pushing down anything that made me sad or upset that I didn't know how to deal with my emotions without food. For example, the day I had a miscarriage, I went to a pizza buffet but never talked about what I was going through with anyone.

As soon as I let go of keeping my emotions to myself, my mindset started to shift. Over time, my therapist helped me get better at identifying my feelings, communicating them to those close to me, and addressing them—instead of masking them with food.

(Tone up, beat stress, and feel great with Rodale's new With Yoga DVD.)

Now, most of the time, when I find myself heading into the kitchen ready to binge, I’m able to pause and ask myself, "What am I feeling and what will solve the real issue right now?" Sometimes, what I needed was to talk to someone about my bad day or to take a few minutes to myself to de-stress.

I tried to remember that if hunger wasn’t the issue, food wasn’t the solution. Eventually, I slowly started to lose weight.

What I Learned About My Eating Disorder's Voice

Then, in 2013, when I started gaining some weight during my pregnancy (a totally healthy thing!), I found myself struggling not to restrict my food intake. I needed to nourish my growing baby, but I was scared to eat more. I feared gaining more weight or ending up back at 275. All I wanted to eat was grilled chicken and lettuce.

Fortunately, a year of therapy had equipped me with the tools to recognize these feelings and work toward a real solution. When I approached my therapist about my concerns, she referred me to an eating disorder specialist. That's when I began meeting with the specialist as well as a registered dietitian once a month.

Slowly, I learned about how an eating disorder can mess with your brain. My therapist told me I had an eating disorder voice in my head that told me whether a food was "good" or "bad" and talked me into bingeing and restricting. She helped me put a muzzle on that voice. For instance, when I refuse to eat a piece of cheese or slice of bread, I ask myself, "Is that me or the disorder talking?" If it’s me doing the talking, cool. If it’s the disorder, it's crap.

These are some of the craziest things people have actually done to lose weight.

Why Therapy Worked For Me

I think that there is still a huge stigma associated with asking for help from a mental health professional. But working with a therapist is the best thing I’ve ever done. I truly believe that weight gain and loss is more mental than physical. It was only when I started addressing my mental health that I could lose weight in a healthy way and keep it off.

I currently weigh 145 pounds and have been able to maintain that weight for more than a year. I follow an intuitive approach to food, allowing my hunger cues to guide when and how much I eat. I inlude whole, nutritious foods in my diet, including fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and dairy most of the time. But I can also enjoy a small bowl of ice cream or cookies without bingeing. On top of that, I work out for 30 minutes each morning and see exercise as a way to set the tone for the day and keep my anxiety in check.

Even though I've lost weight, I still see my therapist regularly. For me, the benefits are about so much more than weight loss. I truly believe that I’m a better co-worker, wife, mom, and person because of my work in therapy. I don’t plan on stopping my sessions any time soon.

  • Intralipotherapy (Lipolitics)

Lipolitics are drugs that are used to correct the oval of the face, eliminate excess fat deposits in the neck, chin, cheeks and eyelids, as well as to reduce the hips, abdomen, buttocks, legs and arms.

Enzyme preparations of intensive action are used in our clinic to correct the figure and face. These are the most modern innovative new generation lipolytics with an improved formula. Their action is based on the properties of three enzymes produced in our body: lipase, hyaluronidase and collagenase.

Lipase accelerates the breakdown of fat cells.
Hyaluronidase breaks down excess hyaluronic acid, correcting high fluid content in the body (edematous form of cellulite).
Collagenase breaks down old collagen, thereby stimulating the production of new elastic fibers (the fibrous form of cellulite).

Advantage over other lipolytics

The advantage of these lipolytics over direct and indirect lipolytics is that they are well tolerated due to the complete biocompatibility of the drug with the human body, so the risk of complications is minimal. In addition, their introduction is almost painless.

The effect obtained as a result of the use of enzymatic lipolytics and the durability of aesthetic correction cannot be achieved by other methods and preparations.

Scheme of work

  • Cosmetologist's consultation. It identifies contraindications and determines the method for correcting an aesthetic defect.
  • Purification and disinfection of the skin. Anesthesia is not required.
  • Administration of the drug. To treat a fatty deposit, the doctor forms a fold of skin by pinching it with his fingers. An injection is made into the area of ​​​​the fat fold.
  • Repeated antiseptic skin treatment. After it, the doctor will give you recommendations and offer to sign up for the next procedure.

The result of lipolytic procedures for weight loss

After the introduction of lipolytic preparations into the problem area, the volumes noticeably go away, the contours become clearer, the skin condition improves, and its color evens out. This happens due to the breakdown of fat cells and the removal of the resulting fluid from the body in a natural way. In addition, the production of new elastic collagen fibers is stimulated.

In 2-3 weeks after the procedure, the face or other parts of the body become visually younger for several years without painful diets! The result of lipolytic therapy has a long-lasting effect.

In the future, a second course of procedures, if necessary, is carried out no more than 2 times a year. The number of procedures in the course is determined by the dermato-cosmetologist.

Indications for use:
