Objective The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) covers intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) obesity. efficacy, however, of the specific approach has never been evaluated in a randomized trial, as described here. 1‐year trial also assessed whether addition to IBT liraglutide 3.0 mg would significantly increase weight loss provision meal replacements add further benefit. Methods A total 150 adults with obesity were randomly assigned to: (IBT‐alone), providing 21 counseling visits;...
To test the effects of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for weight bias internalization (WBI; i.e., self-stigma) combined with behavioral loss (BWL).Adults obesity and elevated WBI were randomly assigned to BWL alone or Weight Bias Internalization Stigma Program (BWL + BIAS). Participants attended weekly group meetings 12 weeks, followed by 2 biweekly monthly (26 weeks total). Changes at Week on Scale (WBIS) Self-Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ) principal outcomes, changes 26 assessed as...
This special issue provides new perspectives on how standard language ideology (SLI) informs and influences attitudes towards 'non-standard' varieties. Standard languages are commonly viewed as uniform, minimally varying (homogeneous) forms of [Haugen, E. 1966. "Dialect, Language, Nation." American Anthropologist 68: 922–935.], existing research in the area standardisation has largely focussed (perceived) monolingual nations, mainly restricted to those Western Europe. The theoretical...
This exploratory analysis examined the effects of intensive behavioral therapy (IBT) for obesity ("IBT-alone"), IBT plus liraglutide 3.0 mg/d ("IBT-liraglutide"), and 12 weeks a portion-controlled diet that provided 1,000 to 1,200 kcal/d ("Multicomponent") on changes in food cravings, eating behaviors, disorder psychopathology at 24 52 post randomization.Adults with (mean age = 47.6 ± 11.8 years BMI 38.4 4.9 kg/m2 ; 79.3% female; 54.0% non-Hispanic white; 44.7% black) were randomized...

An earlier study (Walsh 2013) shown that type metalanguage used and major preoccupations reflected by on their websites can be to reflect moderately purist attitude (based theoretical...
Abstract Background The relationship between weight bias internalization (WBI) and long-term loss is largely unknown. Purpose To determine the effects of on WBI assess whether impairs loss. Methods One hundred thirty-three adults with obesity completed Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS) at baseline, after a 14-week lifestyle intervention in which they lost ≥5 per cent initial weight, weeks 24 52 subsequent randomized controlled trial (RCT) for weight-loss maintenance (66 total).

The article explicitly this question from perspective pluricentricity, little discussed work on date, test hypothesis that there is change strongly...
Objective The objective of this study was to determine the effects weight loss and maintenance (WLM) on weight‐specific health‐related quality life in a 66‐week trial. Methods Adults with obesity ( N = 137, 86.1% female, 68.6% black, mean age 46.1 years) who had lost ≥ 5% initial 14‐week intensive lifestyle intervention/low‐calorie diet (LCD) program were randomly assigned lorcaserin or placebo for an additional 52‐week WLM program. Impact Weight Quality Life‐Lite (IWQOL‐Lite) scale...
