Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness

The go-to reference and practice guide for using motivational interviewing (MI) to enhance conversations about nutrition and fitness is now in a thoroughly revised second edition with 70% new material. Easy to incorporate into everyday interactions, MI offers simple yet powerful tools for helping clients work through ambivalence, break free of diets and quick-fix solutions, and overcome barriers to change. Extensive sample dialogues illustrate the dos and don'ts of counseling clients about meal planning and preparation, exercise, body image, disordered eating, and more. Supplemental reproducible handouts can be downloaded and printed from the companion website. In addition, instructors who adopt the book for courses receive access to PowerPoint slides, worksheets, and exam questions.
