Can a daily text help you lose weight?

NCT ID NCT02985307

Summary

This study tested whether daily text messages could help people with obesity manage their weight. It compared 120 participants who received standard group weight management care against those who also got daily supportive text messages for three months. The goal was to see if the simple, accessible text messages were as helpful as the traditional group approach for weight loss.
