Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pistachio-enriched diet

Composition of prescribed diets will be based on individual preferences, with the goal of consuming 1.5 oz of pistachios per day and increased energy expenditure. During the 4-month intervention, study subjects will participate in individualized counseling and group sessions, with in-person, telephone, email and text message contacts to provide support and behavioral guidance and strategies. Pistachios will be provided to participants. The overall content of the intervention consists of key elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy for obesity. The physical activity component emphasizes planned aerobic exercise, increased physical activity in the lifestyle, and strength training.
