This paper delves into the background and origins of these weight control methodologies and seeks to open the discussion on the differing nomenclatures found within the weight control function. This will be done by giving some examples of weight control terminology with multiple definitions and proposing a new concept of weight nomenclature based on the stages and states of weight development.</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Non-Member Price: $10.00.
