Official title
Development and Evaluation of a SlimFast Internet Behavioral Weight Loss Program
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The Internet has been used effectively in behavioral weight loss programs. Most of these programs have involved a therapist who provides email counseling. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a computer-assisted weight loss program could be developed (that would use pre-programmed computer generated messages rather than human generated messages) and whether this program would be as effective as the therapist-assisted weight loss program.
