Brief Summary

Individuals with obesity are at higher risk for severe disease, hospitalizations, and death from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Social distancing guidelines intended to prevent viral spread during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in major changes to daily routines . Several studies have demonstrated that individuals with overweight/obesity reported worsening mental health, poor eating habits , less physical activity (PA) since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of these pandemic rules, the use of phone/video consultancy applications and online classes for body weight control and diet monitoring is increasing. Therefore, in this study it is aimed to determine the effect of diet counseling via phone or video on weight loss and to compare it with the traditional follow-up method in the COVID-19 pandemic.
