BestFIT: a Personalized Weight Loss Program

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obesity

In brief

The purpose of this study is to learn how to personalize weight loss programs. In this research we will study: 1. Whether a weight loss counselor should decide if the traditional weight loss therapy is working either after 3 or 7 weekly sessions of therapy and 2. For those who haven't lost the expected amount of weight, whether it is more effective to add packaged meals to the traditional weight loss therapy or to change to an enhanced version of behavioral weight loss therapy.
