Abstract:
Maintaining a healthy weight is a concern for a large proportion of adults in the UK, with obesity rates having almost doubled between 1993 and 2011. With overweight and obesity linked to several diseases and health conditions, nurses are often tasked with raising the subject with their clients/patients and advising on lifestyle modifications. This article examines ways to identify whether a person needs to lose weight and establishing targets. It then reviews the evidence base for different approaches to weight management currently available and the advice nurses can provide.
