Senra, Hugo; Duarte, Cristiana; Carvalho, Sérgio A.; Simões, Luís; Ferreira, Cláudia; Palmeira, Lara; Matos, Marcela; Cunha, Marina; Castilho, PaulaTo develop and test the effectiveness of the eBEfree program, a 12-session app-based version of a previously tested psychological intervention (BEfree) that combines psycho-education, self-compassion, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to reduce binge-eating symptoms. Two-hundred participants with recurrent elevated binge-eating symptoms and a higher body weight were enrolled in a remote paralle...
Development of a theory and evidence-based digital intervention tool for weight...
Marques, Marta; Matos, Marcela; Mattila, Elina; Encantado, Jorge; Duarte, Cristiana; Teixeira, Pedro; Stubbs, James; Sniehotta, Falko; Ermes, MiikkaBackground: Many weight loss programs show short-term effectiveness, but subsequent weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Digital technologies offer promising means to delivering behaviour change approaches at low cost and on a wide scale. The NoHoW project was a European Commission H2020-funded project aimed to develop, test, and evaluate a digital Toolkit designed to promote successful long-term we...

Are motivational and self-regulation factors associated with 12 months’ weight ...
Palmeira, António L.; Marques, Marta M.; Sánchez-Oliva, David; Encantado, Jorge; Santos, Inês; Duarte, Cristiana; Matos, MarcelaPurpose: Preventing weight regain can only be achieved by sustained changes in energy balance-related behaviors that are associated with weight, such as diet and physical activity. Changes in motivation and self-regulatory skills can support long-term behavioral changes in the context of weight loss maintenance. We propose that experiencing a supportive climate care is associated with enhanced satisfaction of b...
Users' Experiences With the NoHoW Web-Based Toolkit With Weight and Activity Tr...
Mattila, Elina; Hansen, Susanne; Bundgaard, Lise; Ramsey, Lauren; Dunning, Alice; Silva, Marlene N.; Harjumaa, Marja; Ermes, Miikka; Marques, Marta M.Background: Digital behavior change interventions (DBCIs) offer a promising channel for providing health promotion services. However, user experience largely determines whether they are used, which is a precondition for effectiveness. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to evaluate user experiences with the NoHoW Toolkit (TK)—a DBCI that targets weight loss maintenance—over a 12-month period by using a ...

Hair cortisol concentration, weight loss maintenance and body weight variabilit...
Larsen, Sofus C.; Turicchi, Jake; Christensen, Gitte L.; Larsen, Charlotte S.; Jørgensen, Niklas R.; Mikkelsen, Marie-Louise K.; Horgan, GrahamSeveral cross-sectional studies have shown hair cortisol concentration to be associated with adiposity, but the relationship between hair cortisol concentration and longitudinal changes in measures of adiposity are largely unknown. We included 786 adults from the NoHoW trial, who had achieved a successful weight loss of ≥5% and had a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 prior to losing weight. Hair cortisol concentrati...
