THE BODY POSITIVE DIETITIAN: CLINICAL TOOLS FOR WORKING WITH EATING DISORDERS AND WEIGHT-RELATED ILLNESS

Many nutrition professionals have adopted the model of internal regulation of eating—-trusting regulators of hunger, appetite and satiation/satiety—-as foundational for recovery from eating struggles, for example, chronic yo-yo dieting (which has often resulted in a lot of weight gain in adulthood). But can this model work for clinical eating disorders? Do we feel we need to give different advice to someone who weighs 400 pounds versus 150 pounds?

This webinar will focus on two of Elizabeth's clinical tools, which apply Satter's construct of eating competence, for discussing eating regulation and weight with clients.

Moderated And Presented By The Ellyn Satter Institute

• Discuss the significance of loss of internal regulation in the development of eating and weight dysregulation and its (re)establishment in recovery from eating and weight struggles.



• Help patients/clients categorize themselves along the weight continuum.



• Define success for patients/clients in terms of eating regulation and nutrition/lifestyle changes (eating competence) with predictions for any changes in weight.
