Daily Self‐#Weighing to Prevent Holiday‐Associated #Weight Gain in Adults
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.22454
Holiday weight gain is reported to be 0.4 to 1.5 kg and may contribute to annual weight gain. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of daily self‐weighing (DSW) using visual graphical feedback (GF) to prevent holiday weight gain.
There was no change in weight with DSW + GF, whereas the control group gained weight from v1 to v2 (−0.13 ± 0.27 kg vs. 2.65 ± 0.33 kg, P < 0.001, respectively). In the control group, weight change was similar between individuals with overweight or obesity (OW/OB) versus individuals with normal weight (2.71 ± 0.48 kg vs. 2.62 ± 0.43 kg, not significant, respectively)...
Conclusions
DSW + GF was a successful approach to prevent holiday weight gain, with those with OW/OB responding most favorably to DSW + GF.
