研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare standard Behavior Therapy (BT), BT plus Meal Replacements (MR) and a condition focusing on the nutritional changes to the home food environment (HFE) on weight loss, weight loss maintenance, nutritional composition of the diet and psychosocial outcomes. A second aim is to determine the degree to which the specific targets of the experimental interventions do in fact change in the anticipated direction during the intervention and to evaluate whether such changes might account for improvements in weight loss maintenance. This study is important because it could provide the first evidence that the current standard of care for obesity lifestyle treatment could be improved by the addition of MRs or a program of comprehensive nutritional change.

研究组 & 干预措施
Behavior Therapy
Behavioral treatment strategies will be utilized to facilitate adherence to the treatment goals in all three treatments. Participants in the BT condition will receive only the BT intervention. Strategies that will be emphasized are listed below:
- Self monitoring
- Stimulus control
- Changing eating behaviors
- Goal setting
- Problem solving
- Social support
- Cognitive restructuring
- Relapse prevention
干预措施: Behavior Therapy (Behavioral)
Behavior Therapy + Meal Replacements
The BT +MR condition will implement behavioral treatment strategies in a way that is nearly identical to that of the BT condition. However, participants in this condition also will use MRs during weight loss and weight loss maintenance.
干预措施: Meal Replacements (Dietary Supplement)
Nutritrol
Participants in this condition will be informed about the evidence indicating that the availability, structure and composition of foods they encounter or seek out in their daily lives will play a major role in determining their ability to maintain the weight they lose. We will present the treatment as an opportunity to make numerous changes to their "personal food environment" involving the variety, energy density, nutritional composition, and portion size of the foods they encounter in every day life.
The Nutritrol condition is comprised of several components:
- Food structure
- Energy density
- Reduce variety of foods high in energy density and increase variety of foods low in energy density
- Protein intake
- Controlling the personal food environment
- Individualized weight loss maintenance prescriptions
干预措施: Nutritrol (Behavioral)
