Kuller, MD.Interview: A new study reports that in post-menopausal women, some behaviors associated with short-term weight loss are not effective or sustainable for the long term. Bethany Barone Gibbs discusses the results in depth, interventions that could improve long-term obesity treatment outcomes, implications of the study for men and women of all ages, as well as the challenges of self-reporting in research on diets and eating behaviors.September 2012 (Volume 112, Issue 9, Pages 1347-1355, DOI: 10.1016/j.jand.2012.06.012).
