Unpacking Weight Science - Online Course

This is the direct booking portal for Unpacking Weight Science, an online course on Open Learning developed by Fiona Willer and Health, Not Diets.

The research about human body weight is mountainous.  Most people accept unquestioningly that weight and health are closely linked.  The assumption that increased weight causes poor health outcomes is widespread in medical and cultural discourse but the reality is much more interesting. This course will help you to learn how to 'unpack' weight related research, be it weight loss intervention research, obesity research, or population-wide epidemiological studies, in order to interpret and discuss findings for their actual value, while weeding out weight biased rhetoric. Also covered is an overview of weight neutral interventions which incorporate health promoting behaviours, enhanced body image and self acceptance.
