[Obese teenagers and food, between experiences and sensations]

Several types of nutrition workshops can be organised in day hospitals for obese teenagers. This support enables young patients to develop a better perception of the sensations they get from food, to improve their relationship with food and to adopt healthy behaviour. This dietetic approach is part of a multi-disciplinary project. The parents play a key role and are involved on the psychological and educational levels.

[Type 2 diabetes, obesity and nutrition, a paradigm shift]

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two complex and multifactorial chronic diseases. Nutritional management is based on an educational and bio-psycho-sensory approach centred on the patient using cognitive-behavioural and emotionally-focused therapy tools.
