Within the intervention group, the decrease in hunger is the strongest predictor of weight loss, contributing to 32% of the variance (p<0.001).
Reducing hunger may be a key strategy for enhancing weight loss outcomes in interventions.

Within the I group, decrease in hunger is the strongest predictor of weight loss, the model contributing to 32% of the variance (p<0.001) after controlling for gender and site.

More from this paper
- The weight loss intervention at worksites caused significant increases in restraint (I=5.43±4.25, C=0.29±3.80, p<0.001), decreases in disinhibition (I=−2.5±3.63, C=0.66±1.85, p<0.001), and decreases in hunger scores (I=−2.79±3.13, C=0.56±2.63, p<0.001) in the intervention group compared to the control group.Strong
- The findings contrast with previous studies that have shown change in restraint to be the strongest predictor of weight loss.Strong
