Adherence

Delivering a comprehensive behavioral weight management program (energy restriction, physical activity, and behavioral counseling) via group conference calls yields equivalent weight loss and maintenance compared to traditional face-to-face clinic delivery.

You can achieve the same weight loss results by attending your weight management sessions over a group phone call as you would by going to a clinic in person. The program uses the same strategies: eating fewer calories (1,200-1,500 kcal/day), increasing physical activity to 300 minutes a week, and using behavioral tools like self-monitoring. This method saves you money on travel and time, making it easier to stick with long-term weight maintenance.
