Text messaging and brief phone calls for weight loss in overweight and obese English- and Spanish-speaking adults: A 1-year, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Weight loss interventions based solely on text messaging (short message service [SMS]) have been shown to be modestly effective for short periods of time and in some populations, but limited evidence is available for positive longer-term ...

The metabolic inter-relationships between changes in waist circumference, triglycerides, insulin sensitivity and small, dense low-density lipoprotein particles with acute weight loss in clinically obese children and adolescents. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are highly atherogenic and strongly associated with obesity-related dyslipidemia. The metabolic inter-relationships between weight loss induced changes in waist circumference, triglycerides,

Impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on initial weight loss in a digital weight management program: A natural experiment [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic on initial weight loss during a digital weight management program.MethodsParticipants (n= 866,192; BMI 33.6 [SD 7.4] kg/m2) who joined a digital weight management program (WW) in the first 30 weeks of 2020 (COVID‐19 cohort) were compared ...

Binge eating predicts adherence to digital self-monitoring during behavioral weight loss
Consistent self-monitoring of dietary intake, weight, and physical activity predicts better outcomes during behavioral weight loss, but the factors that influence self-monitoring adherence are not well understood. This study attempted to fill gaps in the existing literature by examining whether pre-treatment eating behaviors predict adherence to ...
