Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective psychological approach for managing obesity, focusing on changing eating behaviors and addressing emotional triggers related to food. CBT helps individuals identify patterns that lead to overeating, such as stress or negative body image, and replace them with healthier coping mechanisms. Through goal setting, self-monitoring, and developing a positive mindset, CBT supports long-term weight management by addressing the psychological factors that contribute to obesity. Studies show that CBT, when combined with diet and exercise, can improve weight loss outcomes and help prevent relapse, making it a valuable tool in obesity treatment.
