Examining motivational interviewing plus nutrition psychoeducation for weight loss in primary care.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Our previous randomized controlled trial found that nutrition psychoeducation (NP), an attention-control condition, produced statistically significantly more weight loss than usual care (UC), whereas motivational interviewing (MI) did not. NP, MI, and UC resulted in medium-large, medium, and negligible effects on weight loss, respectively. To examine whether weight loss could be further improved by combining MI and NP, the current study evaluated the scalable combination (MINP) with accessible web-based materials. METHODS:31 adults with overweight/obesity, with and without binge-eating disorder (BED), were enrolled in the 3-month MINP treatment in primary care. Participants were assessed at baseline, post, and 3-month follow-up. Mixed-model analyses examined MINP effects over tim
