Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to explore the benefits of supplementing the WW (formerly Weight Watchers) online program with a cognitive training game (PolyRules!) among adults with overweight or obesity.

Conditions

  • Overweight and Obesity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

WW Only

WW is a structured behavioral weight management program that focuses on diet, physical activity and mindset skills. The dietary approach is based on creating an energy deficit diet to produce weight loss while also being attentive to the quality of the calories. Specifically, the WW program assigns SmartPoints values to foods based on calories, sugar, saturated fat and protein. In addition, particular foods are assigned a points value of zero (0) to encourage a healthier eating pattern (e.g. fruits, vegetables, non-fat yogurt, fish).

BEHAVIORAL

WW + PolyRules!

In addition to WW, participants will be asked to engage in daily cognitive training using the PolyRules! app for three months. They will be instructed to start with 20-min of daily cognitive training and to progressively increase their training time to 30-min.
