Forman, Evan M.; Butryn, Meghan L.; Hoffman, Kimberly L.; Herbert, James D. – Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, 2009

The weight regain that is so common after treatment may be a result of an environment that makes it challenging to adhere, long-term, to a dietary and physical activity regimen. This study was designed to test, via a 12-week open trial, the preliminary…
