Evaluation and component analysis of a comprehensive weight control program
1981
Miller, Peter M. | Sims, Karen L.
An intensive 4-week weight control program was administered to 67 obese people to evaluate the long term effectiveness of such a program and the relationship between continued behavior modification and outcome. The program featured a 700 kcal/day diet, behavior modification, exercise, and education in nutrition, health, and medicine. Follow-up contact with 62 patients, 12 months later, revealed that the mean weight loss was 29.2 lb; 45% lost 30 lb or more and 29% lost 40 lb or more. The factors relating to success were exercise, cognitive restructuring, eating style, and social skills.
