Is your body weight determined by genetics or your eating habits?
In short: Professor Glenn D. Wilson explores the psychological complexities of weight management, examining whether a biological 'set point' governs our bodies and investigating the effectiveness of dieting and self-monitoring techniques.
This lecture delves into the psychological drivers behind eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, while addressing how these conditions might be managed. Professor Wilson also examines modern challenges such as body dysmorphic disorder and the role media-driven ideals of thinness play in body dissatisfaction.
