This weight management site is designed primarily for clients, or members of the public. As a health professional involved in helping people to manage their weight, however, you may find sections of the site useful in the following ways:
- As background knowledge to help you do your job more effectively
- As a resource which provides additional information for your clients
- To download information sheets and tools that you can use with clients
The Weight Wise website was developed by the British Dietetic Association (BDA) with a grant from the Department of Health and continues to be managed by the BDA.
Other Weight Wise resources include a teenage website www.teenweightwise.com and leaflets and posters which are available through the comic company (www.comiccompany.co.uk).
Down-loadable resources available on this and our teenage website are copyright of the British Dietetic Association but may be used for not-for-profit educational purposes.
