No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There have been some preliminary studies, primarily in animals, that suggest that exposure to some of the chemicals in our everyday environment, such as the chemicals found in plastics, may cause weight gain. It is not clear whether this also happens in humans, or whether decreasing exposure to these chemicals can improve success with weight loss when people adopt healthy lifestyle changes.

The THRIVE Study is a 4-week group healthy lifestyle education program that is designed to determine whether:

* changes in dietary habits and the types of personal care products used can decrease a person's exposure to chemicals in our environment that have been suggested to cause weight gain
* whether any measurable changes in body composition (fat tissue vs. lean tissue) can be seen as a result of participating in the healthy lifestyle program.

Conditions

  • Overweight, Obesity and Other Hyperalimentation
