This book was released on 2005 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than one out of seven adolescents are currently overweight or obese and the majority of these adolescents are expected to experience compromised mental and physical health over their lifetimes. Body dissatisfaction and the elevated rates of eating disordered behaviors in this population have rarely been addressed in obesity treatment programs. This study evaluated the efficacy of an integrated, Internet-delivered, early intervention approach targeting weight loss, body dissatisfaction, and reduction of eating disordered behaviors in an overweight adolescent sample. Sixty-one 12- to 18-year olds who were overweight or obese (mean BMI percentile = 97.71 ± 2.51) were randomly assigned to Student Bodies 2 (SB2), a 16-week Internet-delivered program utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach, or typical care (TC). Each week during the program, SB2 participants logged on to the website to read psychoeducational materials, complete online food, physical activity, weight, and body image journals, and participate in an asynchronous group discussion. Assessments were conducted at baseline and at post-treatment. A statistically significant reduction in BMI z-score was found when compared to the TC group (F[1,58] = 6.29, p = .015; ES = 0.19). No statistically significant differences were noted between groups on measures of eating disordered attitudes and behaviors, with the exception of an increase in dietary restraint in the SB2 group (F [1,55] = 4.88, p = .031), which reflected program recommendations. SB2 participants reduced consumption of high-fat foods (F[1,52] = 6.09, p = .017); ES = 0.61), and increased eating-related (F[1,58] = 11.34, p = .001; ES = 0.94) and physical activity-related cognitive and behavioral skills use (F[1,58] = 7.43, p = .008; ES = 0.78). However, none of these variables were shown to be mediators of outcome. SB2 participants also reported reduced stress levels compared to increases in stress in the TC group (F [1,51] = 9.41, p = .003; ES = 0.53). Findings suggest that an Internet-delivered intervention yields a modest reduction in weight status and that body image and eating disordered behaviors are not negatively impacted. Implications include the acceptability of the Internet as a potentially effective modality in the treatment of adolescent obesity and associated conditions.

Download or read book Promoting Small Changes for Obesity Treatment written by Miranda R. Melton and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid increase followed by a steady maintenance of elevated levels of obesity in the United States is alarming and necessitates action. While behavioral treatment of obesity is showing moderate success of initial weight loss, maintenance of lost weight is more common than traditional calorie restrictive dieting approaches. This is particularly relevant during the holiday season where people can gain 1-5% of their total body weight during this short period of time. Therefore, it is critical that we explore additional ways to help individuals maintain their lost weight, particularly during a challenging time of year. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of using Direct Behavior Ratings via the Internet to help individuals successfully maintain their weight immediately following completion of a treatment program over a 6-week period during the holidays. The pilot study operated within a behavioral framework to deliver evidenced based formative assessment through the use DBR as a progress monitoring and self-monitoring tool delivered via the Internet through bi-weekly emails. Additionally, tailored quantitative and qualitative feedback was integrated through reports issued bi-weekly that contained graphical representations of the data in addition to therapeutic statements regarding individual progress. The pilot study consisted of a two-phase design wherein Phase I (non-experimental) was the initial treatment and Phase II (experimental) was the follow-up treatment. Phase I treatment consisted of the ASPIRE Small Changes Program utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy with the Traffic Light Diet and pedometers for physical activity. Initially, 16 participants were recruited from the ASPIRE Small Changes Program at East Carolina University's Psychological Assessment and Specialty Services (PASS) clinic; 14 participants were included in the final analysis. At the conclusion of treatment, group level weight maintenance was achieved. In addition, strong relationships were noted between the variables of red foods and green foods and compliance indicating participants who reported higher levels of success in meeting red and green food goals were also more likely to complete and return ratings as hypothesized. A strong relationship between weight change in Phase I and ratings of success in meeting red, green, and step count goals was evident. The weight maintenance achieved in our pilot sample provides promise for future utilization of DBR as a follow-up treatment delivered via the Internet. Based on our preliminary data there is reason to believe success in Phase I of treatment can encourage long term maintenance of dietary balance with minimal intervention. The findings of our pilot sample offer additional insight into the treatment of obesity and overweight with particular relevance to achieving follow-up weight maintenance. Subsequent research should continue to explore the utility of DBR for self-monitoring of healthy weight behaviors and the modality of the Internet for treatment delivery.

Download or read book THE ROLE OF BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT AND STRESS ON DIETARY LAPSE written by Isabela Batista Oliva and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Overweight and obesity are growing problems in the United States, as these conditions are frequently associated with chronic diseases that may lead to morbidity and premature mortality. Behavioral interventions for weight loss have shown promise in decreasing body weight and improving health in adults with overweight and obesity. However, weight loss interventions may be undermined by dietary lapses. Stress is a known risk factor of overweight and obesity, and may affect dietary lapse as it has been associated with enhanced appetite and increased energy intake. Therefore, studying behavioral treatment strategies and their possible role as modifiers of the effect of stress on lapse may help inform improved strategies for the future. Objectives: This secondary analysis aims to study the effectiveness of acceptance-based strategies in reducing dietary lapses throughout a 12-month weight loss program compared to a standard behavioral treatment. Furthermore, it will investigate whether the effect of stress on lapse occurrence is modified by treatment condition. Methods: Data analyses were performed using ecological momentary assessment survey data obtained from 189 participants with overweight and obesity that had participated in a 12-month weight loss program, and had been randomized to either acceptance-based or standard behavioral treatment. Mixed effects regression models with information on participants' stress level and lapse occurrence collected at multiple instances at baseline (first 3 weeks), mid-treatment (at 6 months), and end-of-treatment (at 12 months) were used to answer the research questions presented in this study. Results: The acceptance-based treatment (ABT) was shown to decrease the odds of lapsing compared to the standard behavioral treatment (SBT) at mid-treatment in the model controlling for gender (OR = 0.716, CI [0.516, 0.994]). In the model with data from female participants only, ABT was also shown to decrease the odds of lapsing compared to SBT (OR = 0.686, CI [0.489, 0.964]). At end-of-treatment the decrease in odds of lapsing was not statistically significant for ABT compared to SBT. Between-subject stress, lapse frequency at baseline, and gender were strong predictors of lapse at mid- and end-of-treatment; however, treatment condition did not modify the effect of between-subject stress on lapse. Although treatment condition did not modify the effect of within-subject stress level on lapse, the main effect of treatment condition (i.e., within-subject stress level equal to zero) showed a decrease in the odds of lapsing for individuals receiving ABT compared to SBT at mid-treatment in the model controlling for gender (OR = 0.718, CI [0.517, 0.997]), and in the model with data from female participants only (OR = 0.688, CI [0.490, 0.966]). Conclusion: This study suggests that acceptance-based strategies are more effective at reducing dietary lapse when compared to cognitive strategies delivered to adults with overweight and obesity during an intensive behavioral intervention for weight loss. A better understanding of the mechanisms through which acceptance-based strategies improve dietary behavior may be achieved with the inclusion of potential mediators of the association in the analytical models.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Download or read book Impact of Social Connectedness on Weight Loss and Weight Loss Maintenance written by Carnisha Gilder and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly two-thirds of American adults are overweight or obese. Obesity is linked to severe health ailments, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Lifestyle interventions produce excellent short-term weight losses that are clinically meaningful; however, most individuals regain one-third of their initial weight loss within the first year following treatment and regain all of their initial weight loss within two to three years. Social connectedness (structural [social network size], relationship quality, and functional connectedness [social support such as tangible support, emotional/informational support, affectionate, positive, and autonomous support] is an understudied construct in the weight loss and weight loss maintenance literature that may improve obesity. The following dissertation includes: (a) a review of the literature of social connectedness, (b) an examination of the impact of social connectedness on weight loss in a 16-week online lifestyle intervention based on the Diabetes Prevention Program, and (c) the impact of social connectedness on weight loss maintenance in a 12-month lifestyle weight loss maintenance intervention where participants were randomized to either receive treatment from (a) lay peers trained in weight management and social support strategies (Peer) or (b) professional intervention staff (Standard). The goal of these projects is to result in published manuscripts. This dissertation will help us understand how social connectedness may help us achieve optimal weight loss and weight loss maintenance outcomes in behavioral interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overweight in adolescence increases the risk of obesity and many adverse health outcomes later in life. The purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between cell adolesphone use and weight status in adolescents, ages 14-17 years old, living in the United States. The socio-ecological model (SEM) was used to explain the link between cell phone use and overweight among adolescents. Three research questions were used to explore (a) the relationship between cell phone use and adolescent weight status after controlling for age, gender, and race; (b) the effect of cell phone use on overweight and normal weight statuses among adolescents aged 14-17 years after controlling for age, gender, and physical activity; and ( c) the modifying effect of race on the relationship between cell phone use and adolescent overweight after controlling for age and gender. Secondary data from the 2017 Youth Risk Behavioral Surveillance System were analyzed using binary logistic regression to answer the research questions. High cell phone use significantly and positively predicted overweight in adolescents after controlling for age, gender, and race (p
Download or read book Beyond Calorie Tracking written by Christina Chwyl and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Many individuals do not achieve clinically significant weight loss following traditional lifestyle modification interventions, potentially because weight loss is dependent upon calorie tracking compliance (to achieve calorie prescriptions), which decreases over time for most. By contrast, non-energy restricted plant-based diets have been demonstrated to promote clinically significant weight loss even without calorie prescriptions. Methods: This pilot trial is the first to empirically test a remotely delivered whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD) lifestyle modification intervention for adults with overweight or obesity. Over 12-weeks, participants (N = 22) followed a non-energy restricted WFPBD and received nutritional counseling and behavioral weight loss intervention. Participants were recruited in two phases. After Phase 1 (n = 7) participant feedback was gathered, and relevant changes were made. The revised intervention was delivered in Phase 2 (n = 15). Assessments occurred at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment. Data were analyzed using an intent-to-treat approach. Results: Feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed intervention was achieved: attrition was low (9.1%) and acceptability was high (mean acceptability: 4.43 out of 5). In Phase 1, a small proportion (22.9%) of participants achieved 5% weight loss, whereas in Phase 2, the majority of participants (69.3%) met this benchmark. Mean weight loss was clinically meaningful for Phase 2 participants (5.89 ℗ł .68 kg). Preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on waist circumference, dietary adherence, and quality of life was also achieved. Preliminary support for family support, family sabotage, friend sabotage and self-compassion (but not internal disinhibition or plant-based diet familiarity) as moderators of intervention effects was found. Conclusion: A 12-week remotely delivered intervention prescribing a non-energy restricted WFPBD was found to be feasible and acceptable and led to clinically relevant changes in weight, waist circumference, dietary adherence, and quality of life.
