The current draft Position Paper on adult weight management is based on a systematic review examining the effect of nutrition behavior interventions provided by registered dietitian nutritionists for adults with overweight or obesity. The draft Position Paper is also based on an evidence-based practice guideline that aims to provide recommendations for RDNs who deliver medical nutrition therapy behavioral interventions for adults with overweight and obesity to improve cardiometabolic outcomes, quality of life and weight outcomes, when appropriate for and desired by the client.
The full systematic review and evidence-based practice guideline are available on the Evidence Analysis Library website.
