Reset: Enhancing Weight Loss in a Digital Intervention

Sponsor: Stanford University

Summary

The goal of the Reset trial is to learn about the optimal combination of dietary behavior strategies in a fully digital weight loss intervention. The intervention is designed for adults with overweight or obesity. The investigators will examine the impact on weight loss of four dietary strategies: 1) limiting Red Zone Foods (i.e., foods that are high in calories and low in nutrition), 2) limiting eating windows, 3) increasing protein intake, and 4) increasing fiber intake. Each of these strategies will include goal setting, daily self-monitoring, and tailored feedback. The investigators will recruit 208 participants. Broadly, adults with overweight or obesity who live in the U.S. will be eligible. The weight loss intervention will last 12 weeks. All participants will be asked to track their body weight daily and complete weekly behavioral lessons and action plans to promote healthy eating and physical activity. All study tasks will occur remotely. Assessment of body weight and survey measures will occur at the beginning of the trial ("baseline"), and at 1 month and 3 months. The Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework will be used to identify which combination of the dietary behavior strategies results in the greatest weight loss. In total, there will be 16 treatment conditions.
