Abstract

Obesity among adolescents is a significant problem in the United States. Community-based programs have focused on obesity or eating disorders without considering the overlap in these health problems (American Dietetic Association, 2006). Therefore, the purpose of this article is to introduce an integrative eating disorder and obesity prevention program (i.e., Eat and Live Well: Utz et al., 2008 and Full of Ourselves: Steiner-Adair & Sjostrom, 2006) called “Full of Ourselves PLUS” (FOO+). We describe the lessons learned when combining the curricula from evidence-based obesity and eating disorder prevention programs and share practical advice for promoting psychological and physical health to adolescent females.
