The ratio of obese men diagnosed as obesity with body mass index more than 25 is increasing. Especially, obese males from 20 to 40 years old have remarkably increased. Therefore the guidance for the weigh control to university students of the first half for twenty is important to prevent the lifestyle-related diseases which will be happened with high frequency in the future. In this paper, I proposed an effective nutrition counseling for the improvement of the diet or eating habit and the life style of students. Most of obese students are males who do not cook food by themselves. The therapy for living behavior, "behavior therapy" to modify or improve inappropriate habits and behaviors is recommended. Records concerning meals, person and place to eat, between-meal snacks, lists of the time schedule, amounts of exercise by a calorie counter, and body weight and "one word diary" are important for the "behavior therapy". By using such the "behavior therapy", I observed students who reduced body weight more than 30 kg in two years. This strategy is proved to be effective. This "behavior therapy" needs a continual counseling for a long time. Therefore, it will be necessary that we study the techniques to improve compliance to students who cannot continue nutrition counseling.
