Applying the MIRA (German acronym for losing weight intelligently) concept, weight-losing programs were tested for guideline conformity and suitability in practice. The core of the concept comprises instruments for the analysis and evaluation of quality criteria for weight-reduction programs. A total of 116 men and women participated in the BCM program of PreCon GmbH & Co. KG, and the "Ich nehme ab" (l'm slimming) program (designed as a self-help aid) of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (German Society for Nutrition), and received counseling over a period of one year. Initial results of follow-up at 40 weeks showed a weight reduction of at least 5% in 66% of all participants, and at least 10% in 24%. The weight loss correlated with the number of counselings. On the basis of the 89 questionnaires evaluated to date, quality of life as measured by the IWQOL-Lite score showed an improvement in 80% of the subjects. These preliminary results indicate that the MIRA concept would appear to be a suitable quality control tool for obesity treatment programs.
应用MIRA（德语中“智能减肥”的首字母缩写）概念，对减肥计划在实践中的指南遵循情况和适用性进行了测试。该概念的核心包括用于分析和评估减肥计划质量标准的工具。共有116名男性和女性参加了PreCon GmbH & Co. KG的BCM计划以及德国营养学会的“我在减肥”（设计为自助辅助工具）计划，并在一年的时间里接受了咨询。40周随访的初步结果显示，所有参与者中有66%体重减轻至少5%，24%体重减轻至少10%。体重减轻与咨询次数相关。根据迄今为止评估的89份问卷，通过IWQOL-Lite评分衡量的生活质量在80%的受试者中有所改善。这些初步结果表明，MIRA概念似乎是肥胖治疗计划合适的质量控制工具。
