The findings contrast with previous studies that have shown change in restraint to be the strongest predictor of weight loss.
Interventions may need to focus more on hunger management rather than solely on restraint.

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
- Within the intervention group, the decrease in hunger is the strongest predictor of weight loss, contributing to 32% of the variance (p<0.001).Strong
