At any given time, a majority of women are engaged in some type of weight loss diet; however, these efforts are difficult to sustain for long-term weight control. Because women are more likely to develop obesity and suffer a greater severity of obesity-related health and economic consequences, we sought to identify the key factors that make adhering to a weight loss diet difficult for overweight/obese women.
Ten nominal group technique (NGT) sessions aimed at identifying perceived barriers to adherence to a weight loss diet were conducted as part of a weight loss study for overweight/obese women ( = 33) during the controlled feeding weight loss phase.
Individual-level barriers to emerge from the sessions included knowing when to stop eating, being able to control cravings and emotional eating, and sustaining healthier dietary habits. Environmental-level barriers included family/social events that bring people together, especially those centered around food and drink, eating out, cost, and busy schedules.
These findings offer a deeper understanding of barriers women find most salient to adhering to a weight loss diet, providing direction for the clinical application of weight loss programs.
在任何时候,大多数女性都在进行某种类型的减肥饮食;然而,这些努力很难长期维持体重控制。由于女性更容易肥胖,并遭受更严重的肥胖相关健康和经济后果,我们试图确定使超重/肥胖女性难以坚持减肥饮食的关键因素。
在一项针对超重/肥胖女性的减肥研究中(n = 33),在控制喂养减肥阶段进行了 10 次名义团体技术(NGT)会议,旨在确定坚持减肥饮食的感知障碍。
会议中出现的个人层面的障碍包括知道何时停止进食、能够控制食欲和情绪性进食以及维持更健康的饮食习惯。环境层面的障碍包括家庭/社交活动,特别是那些围绕食物和饮料、外出就餐、成本和繁忙日程安排的活动。
这些发现更深入地了解了女性认为坚持减肥饮食最突出的障碍,为减肥计划的临床应用提供了方向。
