About the program:
The obesity epidemic has a multifaceted etiology. Physiologic and environmental factors influencing appetite and satiety are etiologic factors, which have received significant attention recently. This program will provide an update of the current research including: the physiology of appetite and satiety; effect of macronutrient composition on satiety; hormones relative to appetite and satiety; and environmental and dietary factors influence on appetite and satiety. Participants will then have the opportunity to explore specific weight control strategies relative to the physiological and environmental factors presented.
