The role of everyday activities on likelihood of dietary lapse: an ecological momentary assessment study.

ABSTRACT: Developing a more nuanced understanding of factors predicting risk of dietary lapse (i.e., instances of non-adherence to a reduced calorie diet) is important, because dietary lapses contribute to suboptimal weight outcomes. The study investigated, for the first time, how various everyday activities affected likelihood of dietary lapses at two timescales-both in-the-moment, and in the hours after engaging in an activity. Participants (N = 107) with overweight/obesity in a behavioral weight loss program completed ecological momentary assessment surveys on dietary adherence and daily activities for 3 weeks at mid-treatment. Generalized estimating equations revealed that socializing predicted greater concurrent lapse risk, while work/school, doing chores, cooking, or practicing a spiritual act
