Adjustment of Unrealistic Weight Loss Expectations on a Mobile CBT-Based Behavior Change Program: Prospective One-Armed Study

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”]

People usually have very unrealistic (high) expectations for how much weight they will lose on a program. In this study, participants’ expectations for their weight loss became significantly more realistic after using Noom. The more they read Noom Weight articles, the more they adjusted their expectations to be more realistic.

A novel technique (computerized linguistic analysis) was used to understand Noom users’ emotional journey over time. Noom users used more negative emotion words over time, which was marginally associated with better weight loss.
