No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test how well a fully remote weight management program (Noom Weight) helps adults with overweight or obesity (BMI 25-45) achieve weight loss in both the short-term (16 weeks) and the long-term (68 weeks), compared to an educational program). Participants will be randomly assigned to use the 16-week Noom Weight program or receive weekly emails with weight loss-related tips and information. Weight will be measured at baseline, 16, 29, 42, and 68 weeks. Changes in physical activity, eating disorder risk, and body appreciation will also be assessed.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Noom Weight

Participants assigned to Noom Weight will be provided access to the app-based program for 16 weeks. This program offers access to self-monitoring features, psychoeducational articles, one-on-one coaching from health experts, and group support. The app includes a robust database of foods, allowing users to track their energy intake. Self-monitoring via the app enables users to review and monitor behavior and weight change patterns. Daily articles review principles of behavior change, nutrition, exercise, etc.

BEHAVIORAL

Educational Control

Participants assigned to the educational control will receive 16 brief (5-10 minute read) weekly newsletters outlining information on developing and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle adapted from the 2015-2020 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Department of Agriculture (USDA) Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Newsletters include detailed information on topics such as nutrition fundamentals (e.g., calorie limits; healthy eating), food groups and dietary guidelines (e.g., importance of vegetables, fruits, and grains), and tips for habit change (e.g., reducing added sugar and saturated fats). Each week includes prompts for individuals to try new strategies (e.g., make a conscious decision about everything you eat; try to eat at your calorie budget).
