Summary

This study aims to find the best combination of strategies to help people maintain weight loss after losing weight. Over 500 adults with obesity will first lose weight through a 16-week program, then try different support methods—like limiting food variety, home strength training, a buddy system, or mindset workshops—for 12 months. Researchers will compare 16 different packages to see which works best for long-term weight control.
