What this study is about

The proposed randomized controlled trial tests two self-regulatory approaches to improve intentional weight loss and diet quality in individuals with overweight or obesity: (1) an environmental control strategy (AVOID) and (2) an impulse control training strategy (RESIST).

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Home food environment and grocery delivery (AVOID)

Behavioral

Participants (Arms 2 \& 4) will receive 6 months of coaching (Zoom and/or email/text) to modify their home food environment and alter cues to promote healthy food choices

Inhibitory control training (RESIST)

Behavioral

Participants assigned to RESIST (Arms 3 \& 4) will receive 6 months of coaching (Zoom and/or email/text) and gamified inhibitory control training.

WW

Behavioral

Participants assigned to all arms will receive 6 months of coaching (Zoom and/or email/text) and commercially-available weight management program focusing on diet, physical activity and mindset skills.

Primary outcomes

Change in BMI from baseline to 12 months.Baseline, 6-month, 12-month

BMI will be calculated by aggregating participants' self-reported height in meters and weight in kilograms at baseline, 6- and 12-months.
