行为治疗是一种用于帮助个人发展一套技能以实现更健康体重的方法。这不仅仅是帮助人们决定改变什么，而是帮助他们确定如何改变。行为改变的过程是通过使用自我监控，目标设定和解决问题。研究表明，行为治疗在治疗的前6个月内产生8-10%的体重减轻。结构化的方法，如代餐和食物供应已被证明可以增加体重减轻的幅度。大多数关于行为治疗的研究都是在大学的临床项目中进行的。虽然这些研究很重要，但它们几乎没有告诉我们这些方法在专业诊所之外的有效性。未来的研究可能会更多地集中在确定这些行为技术如何在现实世界中得到最好的应用。
Behavioral treatment is an approach used to help individuals develop a set of skills to achieve a healthier weight. It is more than helping people to decide what to change; it is helping them identify how to change. The behavior change process is facilitated through the use of self-monitoring, goal setting, and problem solving. Studies suggest that behavioral treatment produces weight loss of 8-10% during the first 6 mo of treatment. Structured approaches such as meal replacements and food provision have been shown to increase the magnitude of weight loss. Most research on behavioral treatment has been conducted in university-based clinic programs. Although such studies are important, they tell us little about the effectiveness of these approaches in settings outside of specialized clinics. Future research might focus more on determining how these behavioral techniques can be best applied in a real-world setting.
