Webinar Series brought to you by: Weight Loss and Weight Management: Current Theories & Best Practices This four session, interactive webinar series brings together national leaders in nutrition, exercise and bariatric medicine who will address what is needed to have a successful weight loss and management program for children and adults in family and community practice settings. The series will start with a presentation and discussion on dynamic energy balance, an important new perspective on what metabolic changes occur during weight loss and how these changes have to be taken into account as part of a weight loss program. The second session will focus specifically on exercise and energy expenditure and weight loss. The final two sessions will present pediatric and adult case studies to highlight the promoters and challenges that lead to successful patient care, in regards to weight loss and maintaining weight loss. Rethinking Energy Balance: Applying Science to Practice Tuesday, April 14, 2015 ~ 12:00pm (12pm PDT; 12pm Arizona; 1pm MDT; 2pm CDT; 3pm EDT) Learning Objectives: 1. Define and explain static vs. dynamic energy balance. 2. Explain to a client why people lose weight differently on the same diet and exercise program 3.
