People lost a"clinically meaningful" percentage of body weight 12 weeks after starting a fully automated online program developed by researchers at Brown University.treatment program during routine care. Each week, people reported weight changes and activity and calorie consumption; attended online lessons; and received personalized feedback.
Ideally, health care providers could offer the online program as an opportunity to patients"as opposed to something punitive," says Thomas, a researcher at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center at the Miriam Hospital in Providence, RI.In three previous controlled clinical trials led by the same research team, the weight loss program was linked to average weight losses of 4.2% to 5.8%.
When asked why only 26% of people offered the program agreed to participate, Thomas replied,"No matter how good the program is, It's just never going to be the right time for a lot of people to add this to their lives, particularly given the last couple of years where folks are experiencing a lot of challenges and a lot of stressors."
Measuring any effect on weight loss at 1 year is the primary aim of the study."I think we expect to find something similar to what we see in previous studies, which is that a certain amount of weight regain will be the norm" at 1 year, Thomas said.
