Reset: Enhancing Weight Loss in a Digital Intervention

The Reset study is looking for adults who are overweight or have obesity and are interested in losing weight through behavioral changes. This 12-week digital program aims to find the best combination of strategies to help with weight loss. All participants will receive a core program with daily weight monitoring, weekly lessons on healthy eating and activity, and personalized feedback. Some participants will also focus on limiting "Red Zone Foods" (high-calorie, low-nutrition foods), limiting their eating window (time-restricted eating), increasing protein, or increasing fiber intake. The main goal is to see how much weight participants lose after 3 months.

Study design: This is an interventional study planning to enroll 208 adult participants. It is designed to compare different dietary behavior strategies within a digital weight loss program.
What's involved: Participants will engage in a 12-week digital intervention, including daily self-monitoring of weight and, for some, daily self-monitoring of specific dietary behaviors.
Compensation: Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up: Weight change will be measured at Baseline and 3 Months.
