Different settings, different approaches: a qualitative comparison of Portuguese dietitians' beliefs, attitudes and practices about obesity in public and private settings.

The public health system requires reorganization to enhance effective obesity management delivery. Motivation driving dietitians' work in private settings should be addressed.
