Diet, Physical Activity, and Weight Trends Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Daily weighing with daily feedback on weight and Weekly weighing with weekly feedback on weight for Self-Regulation. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this investigation is to is to examine if self-weighing with feedback, in which the feedback is matched to the timeframe of self-weighing, in the absence of a standard behavioral intervention assists with the self-regulation of energy balance behaviors among young adults. Participants will be randomized to one of three groups: 1) daily weighing; 2) weekly weighing; 3) no weighing for 4 weeks.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will weigh themselves using a Yunmai SE Scale one time each day upon rising from bed beginning in one week, every day for four weeks. After 2 weights have been collected, participants will begin to receive daily feedback on their change in weight and suggestions to maintain energy balance. They will receive an email stating, "Your weight today is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. Your weight has (increased/decreased) \_\_\_\_\_ pounds since yesterday." If their weight has increased, the email will include one example of how to decrease their energy balance by 150 calories. If participants' weight has decreased, the email will include one example of how to increase energy balance by 150 calories.
