Behavioural intervention for weight loss maintenance vs standard weight advice in adults with obesity: A randomized controlled trial in the UK (NULevel Trial)
PLoS Medicine Jun 09, 2019
Sniehotta FF, et al. - In adults with obesity after clinically significant weight loss, the NULevel, open-label, randomized controlled superiority trial was carried out to examine the impact of a low-intensity technology-mediated behavioral intervention to support weight loss maintenance (≥5%) vs standard lifestyle advice. Participants were 288 people with obesity who had recently lost weight and were given wirelessly connected weighing scales, and then randomly assigned to either standard lifestyle advice via newsletter and no feedback on their use of the scales or a single face-to-face meeting and subsequent weight maintenance support delivered via short message service messages with embedded links (NULevel intervention). There was no evidence of a difference in weight loss maintenance between the two groups at 12 months. On its own, NULevel intervention does not seem to slow the rate of weight regain.
