Overview
This online course is for all healthcare providers who wish to offer their patients the best possible advice on weight loss to help them embrace health beyond weight.
Why are so many people obsessed with weight loss?
Is it because of health? Looks? Acceptance? Self-esteem? Sense of social status?
A disheartening sad statistic is that up to 90% of women are dissatisfied with their own bodies.
Annually, billions of dollars, time and negative energy are needlessly spent by millions of people around the world on weight loss methods with people becoming slaves to this obsession.
In this on-demand course, Bahram Jam will discuss why ‘Fat’ is just another 3 letter word! He will defend the use of the word by referencing those who suggest the intentional use of the word 'fat' in order to reclaim the word, take back its power and eliminate the negativity that society has placed on it.
We will also question the clinical use of the weight scale and the BMI, as they could potentially harm more people than be of benefit.
There will be a discussion on the sickening history of dieting and why trying to lose weight is a losing game.
