Adherence

Videoconference-delivered group weight loss programs achieve clinically significant weight loss (mean 7.4% in completers) comparable to in-person delivery, with higher retention rates in videoconference formats.

If you are looking for a weight loss program, a videoconference-based group program can be just as effective as meeting in person. In fact, people in videoconference groups were more likely to stick with it and report their weight. Look for programs that offer weekly group support, clear nutritional guidelines (like high fiber and balanced macros), and tools for tracking progress. The format (online vs. in-person) matters less than the consistency of the support and the nutritional strategy.
