Workplace weight-loss program helps diet novices
Weight-loss programmes that operate from workplaces can be a particularly good way to help people who might otherwise not seek advice on shedding excess pounds, Scottish researchers said on Tuesday.
The workplace is a good arena for tackling overweight and obesity, Leslie said, particularly in the case of men who might otherwise not seek professional help.
"More companies should be encouraged along these lines," she told the meeting. "We got to a population who would otherwise not have sought out weight-loss assistance."
