Abstract in brief

  • Weight loss maintenance is a major challenge in obesity treatment, and while continuous professional care is effective, it’s often expensive and not sustainable, highlighting the need for new treatment methods.
  • The study aimed to compare an entirely patient-delivered weight loss maintenance program with a standard-of-care program provided by professionals to see which was more effective.
  • Participants who lost at least 5% of their weight in an initial online program were randomly assigned to either the patient-led intervention or the professional-led intervention for an 18-month trial, analyzing various health metrics over the course of the study.
