Study Arms (1)

Memory + Behavioral Weight Loss (M+BWL)

EXPERIMENTAL

The M+BWL program will integrate memory interventions to the BWL program. The BWL program will include dietary recommendations, physical activity recommendations, and behavioral change recommendations.

Behavioral: Memory + Behavioral Weight Loss

Interventions

Memory + Behavioral Weight Loss BEHAVIORAL

BWL and memory enhancement (M+BWL) will be integrated to capitalize on the strengths of both treatments. All participants will be taught general behavioral weight loss skills including to decrease caloric intake and increase physical activity, self-monitoring, goal setting, managing high-risk situations, meal planning, slowing eating, problem solving, social support, cognitive restructuring, lapse and relapse prevention skills, and maintaining weight loss. The proposed M+BWL program provides memory interventions based on the literature, including eating attentively, memory of previous meal, memory skills for planning, effects of diet on memory and the relationship between memory and satiety. The M+BWL program will also utilize experiential learning during the group program such as practicing memory enhanced skills during eating.
