Overweight - Obesity |
| Purpose: |
|
Behavioral weight loss, the current treatment of choice for moderate obesity, achieves
impressive short term results, however, weight regain following treatment is a major
problem. Over 50% of participants in behavioral weight loss programs report difficulty with
internal antecedents to unhealthy weight control behaviors and this difficulty is associated
with weight regain following treatment. Current treatment approaches do not adequately
address these antecedents. The aim of this series of studies is to develop, implement, and
evaluate a behavioral weight loss program modified to provide participants with skills to
deal effectively with affective and cognitive difficulties. The study targets men and women
with BMI of 27-40 who self-report difficulty with emotional and/or cognitive antecedents to
unhealthy weight control behaviors. The study will randomize 120 participants to receive 12
months of standard behavioral therapy for weight loss or standard behavioral treatment plus
affective and cognitive skills training. The long-term goal of this research is to improve
the weight loss maintenance outcomes of behavioral weight loss programs by addressing
affective and cognitive antecedents to unhealthy weight control behaviors.
