So much of the content seems basic, yet [it’s] not really taught in school! Like how to meal plan. That is such a basic skill and necessity, yet I was never taught that through standard education (only once I got into dietetics education).

Overall, the training is incredibly impressive. It is clear that a very significant amount of effort has gone into these 30 years of research.

I felt that the emphasis on bettering healthy lifestyle choices in a very holistic manner (inclusive of sleep, relationships, etc.) adds to the effectiveness of the intervention and respects the dignity…of each participant as a human being.

As a practicing family medicine physician who interacts with patients of many different backgrounds, I have witnessed firsthand the struggles my families face when they try to make healthy changes but are overwhelmed by the barriers that face them. [FBT] presents an amazing, evidence-based opportunity to be trained in how best to guide weight management for the entire family.

Working through [FBT] really did help my family look at nutrition and health differently. Foods were not bad or good. [It was] our choices that had consequences for our overall health. We understood portion sizes and the importance of reading food labels. We learned how important it is to be active and so many great concepts that we still use.
