Brief Summary:
The purpose is to optimize the EMPOWER program by integrating strategies to reduce food cravings a critical yet often overlooked factor for long-term success in weight management
The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of craving coping strategies on weight loss outcomes by conducting a randomized controlled trial Participants will be randomized to receive one of the two strategies to manage food cravings

Detailed Description:
Obesity is a major contributor to developing chronic diseases such as hypertension heart disease stroke and diabetes and 419 of adults were obese in 2020 in the United States Although weight loss can reduce or remit these comorbidities it is challenging for most individuals with obesity to achieve clinically significant weight loss and sustain healthy weight through dietarylifestyle modifications Achieving sustainable weight loss must be accompanied by dietarylifestyle modifications that can be sustained comfortably for a lifetime Currently there is no dietary weight loss program that can reliably induce sustainable weight loss
To address this deficiency our lab has been developing a novel dietary weight loss program that can achieve a lifetime healthy weight In our three weight loss trials we observed that the reduction of food cravings is associated with successful weight loss and subsequent weight maintenance Food cravings have been suggested to predict food intake and weight gain lack of success in weight loss and early drop-out from weight management programs supporting our observation Food cravings are defined as strong or intense desires for a particular type of food and have been reported to occur in approximately 58 of adults Individuals with overweight or obesity report more frequent and intense cravings for energy-dense food such as high-fat and sweet foods relative to normal-weight people
Specific food craving coping strategies are developed to reduce the frequency and intensity of cravings to minimize the risk of excessive food intake These strategies involve cognitive-behavioral principles including controlled-based strategies such as avoidance resistance and inclusion The avoidance strategy uses behavior-oriented techniques to modify the immediate environment teaching individuals to encourage healthy eating and avoid unhealthy eating by controlling the stimuli that trigger their behaviors The resistance strategies focus on cognitive regulation and enhancing self-regulatory control which teaches individuals how to cognitively restructure urges related to craved food and mentally distract themselves from cravings The inclusion strategies focus on self-regulation and planning and aim to satisfy food cravings by strategically incorporating craved foods into balanced meals
Despite the existence of coping strategies very few studies evaluate the efficacy of these strategies during weight loss trials Thus we evaluated the relationship between weight loss outcomes and the degree of cravings using intra-cohort analysis in our two weight loss trials Our preliminary findings suggested that effective management of food cravings appears to be a key to successful weight loss and weight maintenance Study 1 found that better control over food cravings during weight loss and maintenance was associated with long-term success in weight loss outcomes Study 2 demonstrated that participants who achieved clinically significant or greater weight loss 5 weight loss had significantly lower food cravings
Building on the findings from our preliminary studies a specific aim of this research proposal is to determine the efficacy of craving coping strategies and a combination of strategies on weight loss outcomes by conducting a randomized controlled trial
