Small Changes Clinical Weight Loss Trial

This study is testing two different approaches to weight loss: the "Small Changes program" and "Standard behavioral therapy for weight loss." Researchers want to see how effective the Small Changes program is at helping people lose weight. They will also look at changes in body composition, blood markers (signs in your blood that show how healthy you are), and blood pressure. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 70 years old, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or higher, and your weight has been stable for the past three months. The main goal is to measure how much weight participants lose over 12 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 52 participants. It compares two behavioral weight loss programs.
What's involved
You would need to follow a written diet plan daily and attend bi-weekly in-person and phone appointments for 12 weeks.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your weight will be measured at the beginning and again at 12 weeks.
