Comparing self-reported energy intake using an online dietary tool with energy ...
Vasileiou, Aikaterina; Searle, Dominique; Larsen, Sofus C.; Magkos, Faidon; Horgan, Graham; Stubbs, R. James; Santos, Inês; Palmeira, António L.Objective: The aim of this study was to compare self-reported total energy intake (TEI) collected using an online multiple-pass 24-h dietary recall tool (Intake24) with total energy expenditure (TEE) estimated from Fitbit Charge 2-improved algorithms in adults from the NoHoW trial (12-mo weight maintenance after free-living weight loss). Methods: Bland-Altman plots were used to assess the level of agreement bet...
A Theory- and Evidence-Based Digital Intervention Tool for Weight Loss Maintena...
Marques, Marta M.; Matos, Marcela; Mattila, Elina; Encantado, Jorge; Duarte, Cristiana; Teixeira, Pedro J.; Stubbs, R. James; Sniehotta, Falko F.Many weight loss programs show short-term effectiveness, but subsequent weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Digital technologies offer a promising means of delivering behavior change approaches at low costs and on a wide scale. The Navigating to a Healthy Weight (NoHoW) project, which was funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, aimed to develop, test, and evalua...
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...
Testing motivational and self-regulatory mechanisms of action on device-measure...
Encantado, Jorge; Marques, Marta M.; Gouveia, Maria João; Santos, Inês; Sánchez-Oliva, David; O’Driscoll, Ruairi; Turicchi, Jake; Larsen, Sofus C.Background: To date, few digital behavior change interventions for weight loss maintenance focusing on long- term physical activity promotion have used a sound intervention design grounded on a logic model under- pinned by behavior change theories. The current study is a secondary analysis of the weight loss maintenance NoHoW trial and investigated putative mediators of device-measured long-term physical activi...
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...

Evidence-Based Digital Tools for Weight Loss Maintenance: The NoHoW Project
Stubbs, R. James; Duarte, Cristiana; Palmeira, António L.; Sniehotta, Falko F.; Horgan, Graham; Larsen, Sofus C.; Marques, Marta M.; Evans, Elizabeth H.Effective interventions and commercial programmes for weight loss (WL) are widely available, but most people regain weight. Few effective WL maintenance (WLM) solutions exist. The most promising evidence-based behaviour change techniques for WLM are self-monitoring, goal setting, action planning and control, building self-efficacy, and techniques that promote autonomous motivation (e.g., provide choice). Stress...

Consistent sleep onset and maintenance of body weight after weight loss: an ana...
Larsen, Sofus C.; Horgan, Graham; Mikkelsen, Marie-Louise K.; Palmeira, António Labisa; Scott, Sarah; Duarte, Cristiana; Santos, Inês; Encantado, JorgeBackground: Several studies have suggested that reduced sleep duration and quality are associated with an increased risk of obesity and related metabolic disorders, but the role of sleep in long-term weight loss maintenance (WLM) has not been thoroughly explored using prospective data. Methods and findings: The present study is an ancillary study based on data collected on participants from the Navigating to a ...
