The objective of this study is to review the history daily self-weighing for weight control, discuss possibility that may cause adverse psychological symptoms, and propose mechanisms explain how facilitates control. A systematic forward (citation) tracking approach has been employed in study. In early literature, experimental tests did not demonstrate a benefit adding traditional behavioral modification loss. More recent studies have shown combined with personalized electronic feedback can...
Objective An intervention using Wi‐Fi scales and graphic e‐mail feedback, the caloric titration method (CTM), to reduce age‐related weight gain over 1 year among college students was evaluated. Methods First‐year ( n = 167) were randomized CTM or control (C) groups provided scales. The group instructed weigh daily, view a graph e‐mailed them after weighing, try maintain their weight. C could at any time but did not receive feedback. At 6 months year, weights. For intention treat analysis, an...
To investigate the effect of yoga on negative affect (an eating disorders risk factor), 38 individuals in a residential disorder treatment program were randomized to control or intervention: 1 hour before dinner for 5 days. Negative was assessed pre- and post-meal. Mixed-effects models compared between groups during intervention period. Yoga significantly reduced pre-meal as usual; however, attenuated Many programs incorporate into treatment. This preliminary evidence sets stage larger...
Evidence has suggested that self-weighing may be beneficial for weight control in adults, but few studies have independently assessed the contribution of this behavior to loss. This study experimentally tested daily and visual feedback (the Caloric Titration Method (CTM)) as a loss maintenance intervention over 2 years. 162 overweight individuals were randomized CTM or delayed treatment group. In year 1, change was compared between groups, 2, group started using while continued maintenance....
Objective . To investigate the relationship between binge eating behavior and weight loss maintenance over a two-year period in adults. Design Secondary data analysis using Keep It Off study, randomized trial evaluating an intervention to promote maintenance. Participants 419 men women (ages: 20 70 y; BMI: 20–44 kg/m 2 ) who had intentionally lost ≥10% of their during previous year. Measurements Body was measured past 6 months reported at baseline, 12 24 months. Height baseline. Results...
This study evaluated the ecological validity (i.e., accurate measurement of a construct as experienced in naturalistic settings) self-report Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ). Obese adults (N = 50) completed DEBQ, followed by 2-week momentary assessment protocol that included measures eating episodes and associated intrapersonal contextual factors. Results revealed DEBQ Emotional was with greater negative affect less positive at both pre- post-eating episode, well ratings feeling...
Dietary restraint and low body appreciation are common among female-identifying undergraduates related to the development of disordered eating, which engage in throughout college. Training students intuitive an approach that promotes eating by internal cues, may be a way ameliorate dietary appreciation, ultimately decreasing eating. The purpose this study was examine impact five-week intervention on restraint, undergraduates. A (NCT0394700) facilitated two Registered Dietitians. One...
Objective Treatment for binge eating disorder (BED), a condition associated with both excess adiposity and psychological distress, has not typically produced significant weight loss despite reducing eating. Characterizing factors that promote or inhibit in individuals co‐occurring BED obesity may help explain overall nonsignificant changes during treatment. Methods In this study, 189 adults participated randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of 5 months cognitive behavioral...
Understanding the degree to which eating behaviors, such as disinhibition and restraint, are associated with weight loss maintenance could contribute further refinement of effective management intervention strategies. The purpose this analysis was examine if these factors mediate or using data from a randomized controlled trial testing commercial program that delivered behavioral counseling structured meal plans including prepackaged foods. Mediation analyses were used whether changes in...
Personal beliefs and attitudes about body weight image are important determinants of management practices. To inform efforts to prevent treat obesity among autistic adults, this study examined how adults perceive management, weight, image. Eleven participated in semi-structured interviews. Consistent with an interpretive paradigm, interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology was employed, resulting four themes: (a) Mental physical health: direct indirect interactions, (b) ASD traits...
