Rethinking Eating and FITness for Men
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Weight Loss, Overweight
In brief
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of a new three-month behavioral weight loss program among adult men. Weight will be measured at three and six months post randomization. The intervention will be compared to a wait-list control group. Participants will be 112 overweight and obese men (18-65) living in the Chapel Hill/Raleigh/Durham area. The behavioral intervention tested will be delivered online with two face-to-face group meetings. Intervention content will be delivered via email and online. It is hypothesized that men randomized to the REFIT intervention will lose more weight at 3 months than men randomized to the wait-list group.
