Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

BWLI-College

Behavioral modifications are based on empirically-supported principles for weight loss. Diet recommendations follow a small change approach in which participants will make a series of small, self-selected dietary changes each day (\~100-200 calories) that they build on over the course of the intervention. Physical activity recommendations are to achieve 150-250 weekly minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity with specific goals and rate of progression that are individualized to each participant.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

Psychoeducation around dieting myths, healthy eating, and physical activity
