One of the strongest predictors of weight loss is food tracking, which involves logging all food and beverage consumed each day in an effort to stay within a daily calorie goal. Standard lifestyle interventions prescribe daily food tracking for the length of the program which can range from 3-24 months. This can be a taxing prescription that is not feasible to do long term for many people. The purpose of this pilot feasibility randomized trial is to test the feasibility of 3 tracking prescriptions during an 8 week digital weight loss intervention: 1) tracking daily, 2) tracking two weeks on and one week off, 3) tracking every other week. Feasibility is defined as tracking prescription compliance, burden, acceptability, and perceived efficacy, and tracking self-efficacy. Diet tracking will be evaluated one month after the intervention ends so that groups can be compared on diet tracking maintenance., conditionsModule conditions: Obesity, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups in parallel for the duration of the study, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 108, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Dietary Tracking Prescription, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Compliance with diet tracking prescription, primaryOutcomes measure: Persistence with diet tracking prescription, primaryOutcomes measure: Burden of tracking prescription, primaryOutcomes measure: Acceptability of tracking prescription, primaryOutcomes measure: Perceived efficacy of tracking prescription, primaryOutcomes measure: Self-efficacy of diet tracking, secondaryOutcomes measure: Diet Tracking One Month Post-Intervention, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 65 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: University of Connecticut, status: RECRUITING, city: Storrs, state: Connecticut, zip: 06269, country: United States, contacts name: Sherry Pagoto, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 860-486-2313, email: sherry.pagoto@uconn.edu, contacts name: Sherry Pagoto, PhD, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 41.80843, lon: -72.24952, documentSection largeDocumentModule largeDocs typeAbbrev: Prot, hasProtocol: True, hasSap: False, hasIcf: False, label: Study Protocol, date: 2023-09-14, uploadDate: 2024-01-03T11:42, filename: Prot_000.pdf, size: 518051, largeDocs typeAbbrev: ICF, hasProtocol: False, hasSap: False, hasIcf: True, label: Informed Consent Form, date: 2023-09-14, uploadDate: 2024-03-12T13:35, filename: ICF_001.pdf, size: 296855, hasResults: False
