Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT00227006

Age - 25 Years-N/A Condition - Cardiovascular Disease Gender - All Accepting Healthy Volunteers - yes

Purpose

Once intervention class or staff contact is removed, obese adults participating in behavioral weight-loss programs often give up healthy eating habits and regain weight. We examined whether taste-based goal setting, which minimizes perceived deprivation by promoting taste and moderation, would sustain long-term reductions in saturated fat and body mass index (BMI).
