Study Summary
Many behavioral weight loss interventions have been developed, but still have significant limitations in terms of achieving clinically significant, sustained weight loss. A recent study incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in a randomized clinical trial resulted in participants who attained significantly greater 12-month weight loss in the ACT arm than those assigned to standard behavioral treatment, suggesting that ACT may have the potential to improve behavioral weight loss outcomes. The investigators have developed a novel telephone-delivered version of the ACT behavioral weight loss intervention, based on proven success using ACT telephone counseling intervention for smoking cessation.
Primary Outcome
Weight loss measured by BodyTrace scale. The BodyTrace medical body weight scale is a physical scale capable of assessing weight from 0.2 lbs to 397 lbs (0.1 kg to 180 kg) and securely sending data remotely through cellular (GSM) network.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL TALK study group
- BEHAVIORAL TALK control group
