Adherence
Among adherent participants (completing ≥80% of coaching calls), the same remote weight loss intervention resulted in significant weight loss compared to non-adherent participants.
If you can commit to the full program, including regular check-ins, significant weight loss is possible. The key is adherence, which may require more support or tailored engagement strategies for cancer survivors.

Why this rating
