Among the treatments intended for losing excess body weight, behavioral change treatment is the most difficult procedure in terms of convincing an individual. This treatment involves not only limiting the eating or prompting the patient to adopt the habit of physical activity, but also changing the entire lifestyle. The main goal of the treatment is to convert all unfavorable behaviors and habits related to eating and physical activity into favorable ones.

The steps of the treatment are;

• • The individual’s self-monitoring:
  • Stimulus Control:
  • Developing alternative behaviors
  • Reinforcement, self-rewarding
  • Cognitive restructuring:
  • Social Support
  • Pharmacological treatment.
