About

This study is a 24-week, single-arm trial investigating the feasibility of a flipped classroom behavioral intervention for weight management. The investigators will recruit up to 30 adults ages 18+ with a body mass index greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2 to participate in weekly, 1-hour group weight management education delivered remotely via Zoom with a trained health educator. Participants will receive a dietary prescription of 1200-1500 calories/day (5 portion-controlled meals and 5+ servings of fruits and vegetables) and exercise prescription of 150-300 minutes exercise/week. Additionally, participants will be asked to self-monitor diet and exercise adherence weekly. Feasibility outcomes will be collected at baseline, 12-weeks, and 24-weeks.

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will be complete a total of 24, 1-hour group sessions with a health educator (exercise physiologist). The group size will be 10-15 participants and will be completed via Zoom. Prior to each group meeting, participants will email their weekly self-monitoring sheets to their health educator to review diet and exercise adherence. Each group session will follow a pre-determined structure: group discussion, review of adherence, 5 to 10 minutes of physical activity, and an active learning-based activity.
