Addressing Myths and Misconceptions in Obesity hosted by Dr. Holly Lofton
It's often been said that ‘Obesity is a choice, not disease,’ ‘Low fat diets are the best way to reduce body fat’ or that ‘Weight loss of at least 10% is needed for any benefit.’ The truth is these are false. In this series, Dr. Holly Lofton unpacks the truth and provides practical advice about 14 myths and misconceptions, so that people with obesity can better manage this chronic disease with support from their healthcare team. Won’t you join Dr. Lofton? It’s time to set the record straight and replace myths and misconceptions with truth – and turn challenges into opportunities.
