Weight management
This edition of the Symposium Series booklets captures the in-depth presentations and discussions during our symposium of 2002.
Public health organisations & food industry have to join forces
Gradually, we are beginning to understand the enormity of the obesity epidemic and its consequences. Diet, exercise and behavioural modification remain the cornerstones of successful treatment. Emphasis should be placed on prevention, especially in children. In attacking obesity, public health organisations and the food industry will have to join forces. Existing food products such as reduced-fat products or meal replacement products offer proven benefits for weight management.
