Behavioral modification in the context of obesity treatment refers not to a single intervention scheme, but rather\u00a0to a set of principles, which can be combined with other therapeutic approaches. The aim of applying behavior change\u00a0strategies is to help the overweight\/obese individual develop and sustain those skills needed to achieve the dietary and\u00a0physical activity changes required to obtain a healthier weight. A number of techniques have been applied to this direction.\u00a0Isolating each one of them and studying their effectiveness is very difficult, as a combination of those is usually employed\u00a0to behavioral change programmes for obesity. However, a great bulk of scientific evidence exists supporting the use of\u00a0behavioral change techniques for enhancing treatment effectiveness. Among those, mostly studied and commonly used\u00a0are self-monitoring, goal setting, structured meal plan, and social support, the presentation of the relevant supporting data\u00a0of which is the aim of the present review.<\/p>\n
