weight loss- working on intrinsic motivation

[Guest guest]

I'm working in creating a group support program in my health center for some

obese patients. I have been reading about several behaviour modification

theories, and one has caught my attention, the self- determination theory which

works with intrinsic motivation since it is the one that leads to long term

changes and adherence. Anyone has tried to put this approach into practice? Or

has examples of weight loss programs that use this type of approach?
