Summary

This NIDDK funded R01 project is a randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the efficacy of an intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and a Self-Regulation (SR) intervention on weight loss maintenance over a 30-month period. All participants will first complete a well-validated online weight loss intervention (months 1-3 of the study). Participants who lose ≥4 kilograms of initial weight will then be randomly assigned to receive ACT or SR, with both conditions consisting of face-to-face, group-based intervention meetings and weekly email contact for 6 months.
