Transforming Your Life
EXPERIMENTALThe TYL program emphasized: 1) helping participants develop and maintain healthy habits and disrupt unhealthy habits, 2) enabling participants to create a personal food and exercise environment that increases exposure to healthy eating and physical activity and encourages automatic responding to goal-related cues, and 3) facilitating participants' weight loss motivation.
Diabetes Prevention program
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe DPP recommends that participants set a weight loss reduction goal of 7% or more of their baseline body weight, reduce consumption of high fat foods as a means to reduce caloric intake, and engage in brisk walking or other moderate intensity physical activity for 150 minutes per week. Sessions include information on changing energy intake and energy output through diet and exercise, and addressing psychological, social, environmental, and motivational challenges to health behavior change.
