The problems of obesity are well documented, but few medical treatment programs have proven successful. Recently developed behavioral techniques have offered promise in the treatment of obesity. However, the time invested by a therapist limited their practical use and adoption by the general physician. A pilot study was conducted which employed a brief period of explanation of behavior modification techniques, development of an individualized program of eating behavior and recording of weight changes to provide feedback on progress. The program is carried out by patients at home with a minimum of physician supervision. The results indicate that such an approach is feasible and successful. Comparing this program to other programs is difficult because of the variability in reporting data and results.
肥胖问题已有充分记录，但鲜有医学治疗方案被证明是成功的。最近开发的行为技术为肥胖治疗带来了希望。然而，治疗师投入的时间限制了这些技术在普通医生中的实际应用和采用。开展了一项试点研究，该研究采用了一段简短的行为改变技术讲解、制定个性化饮食行为计划以及记录体重变化以提供进展反馈的方法。该计划由患者在家中进行，医生监督最少。结果表明这种方法是可行且成功的。由于报告数据和结果存在差异，将该计划与其他计划进行比较很困难。
