Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular effects of intensive lifestyle intervention in type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: An intensive lifestyle intervention focusing on weight loss did not reduce the rate of cardiovascular events in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Wearable Technology Combined With a Lifestyle Intervention on Long-term Weight Loss: The IDEA Randomized Clinical Trial

TL;DR: Among young adults with a BMI between 25 and less than 40, the addition of a wearable technology device to a standard behavioral intervention resulted in less weight loss over 24 months, suggesting devices that monitor and provide feedback on physical activity may not offer an advantage over standard behavioral weight loss approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of a stepped-care intervention approach on weight loss in adults: A randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: Among overweight and obese adults, the use of SBWI resulted in a greater mean weight loss than STEP over 18 months, and STEP resulted in clinically meaningful weight loss that cost less to implement.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CALERIE Study: Design and methods of an innovative 25% caloric restriction intervention

TL;DR: An intensive intervention was designed to assist participants in adhering to the 25% CR prescription for a two-year duration to optimize the likelihood that 25%CR would be achieved through a variety of nutritional and behavioral strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of weight change associated with long-term weight change and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the Look AHEAD Study.

TL;DR: Assessment of the associations that weight‐loss patterns during the first year of an intensive lifestyle intervention have with 4‐year maintenance and health outcomes found individuals who had larger month‐to‐month weight losses in year 1 had better maintenance of weight loss over 4 years.
