Adherence
High attendance of expert-led coaching sessions (≥80%), live web-based classes (≥60%), and receiving food log feedback (≥1 day/week) significantly predicts clinically significant weight loss (≥5%) in a 6-month weight management program.
To maximize your weight loss in this program, prioritize attendance. Aim to attend at least 80% of your one-on-one coaching sessions and 60% of the weekly web classes. Additionally, ensure you receive feedback on your food logs at least one day per week. These specific engagement levels are the strongest predictors of losing 5% or more of your body weight.
Attending 80% of expert coaching sessions, attending 60% of live weekly Web-based classes, and receiving a minimum of 1 food log feedback day per week were associated with clinically significant weight loss.
