Long-Term Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity Using a Breath Biofeedback mHealth App: A One-Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term weight loss success with dietary interventions is notoriously limited. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions offering personalized dietary guidance combined with real-time biofeedback may enhance long-term adherence and provide a sustainable solution for weight management.

Objectives

This study reports the prespecified secondary outcome of weight loss at 48 weeks from a parallel-arm randomized clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04165707) that aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of a Mediterranean-style low-carbohydrate diet delivered via an mHealth application paired with breath biofeedback compared with a calorie-restricted low-fat diet application.

Methods

Adults with overweight or obesity (N = 155; mean ±
