Energy balance
During phase 1, weight change was inversely associated with change in total self-efficacy (SE) and its subscales.
Practitioners should consider the role of self-efficacy in weight loss interventions.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
During phase 1, weight change was inversely associated with change in total SE (r = −.60), and in availability (r = −.50; AVAIL), social pressure (r = −.68), and positive activities (r = −.47; PA) subscales (P < 0.01 for each).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving a controlled energy restriction study.
