• Stimulus control-examples include avoiding contact with problem foods and learning alternative responses to conditioned stimuli for eating, such as watching television
• Lifestyle management - individuals self-correct weight-related problems through trialling possible solutions - important in maintaining weight loss
• Social support - strong encouragement and guidance from support groups or individuals, including friends, family, clinicians and work-mates is helpful
