"According to the latest thinking, eating healthily and taking more exercise are not enough by themselves to combat the nation's rising obesity levels. Instead we need a better understanding of the issues underpinning compulsive eating so that psychological help can be successfully targeted."The "latest thinking" is evidence of a further decline in smarts.
You have to be an absolute friggin' idiot to say "eating healthily...[is] not enough by [itself] to combat the nation's rising obesity levels" in the same breath.
If it is not enough, then it is not "eating healthily," morons. (see here, here, here and here.)
"There are currently no Department of Health guidelines on offering psychological services to those suffering from eating disorders...Shut up.
Therapy has a key role in identifying the reasons why people overeat rather than simply focusing on what they eat. It can also provide compulsive eaters with the psychological tools and strategies needed to lose weight and keep it off.
Many compulsive eaters do not have secure social and emotional attachments. In the ups and downs of life, instead of using self-soothing mechanisms or asking for help from others, they reduce stress by ingesting food. Diet and exercise plans do not address their concerns, so until psychological services are available to meet these needs the obesity problem looks set to grow."
These uber-sensitive, uber-fat, calorically irresponsible folk will just overeat again when the next little insult to their frail fat lives comes along (assuming they are fat, for the sake of argument, because they are emotional eaters - which is not a true condition).
Who is stupid enough to suggest this approach?
"British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy"Hmmm....
Wonder if they have a bias?
