Summary

This trial tests if special meals or a weight management app can help adults keep off weight after stopping a weight-loss medication. The study focuses on those who have lost significant weight and stopped the medication. The meals make healthy eating easier, and the app provides support for maintaining good habits.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've lost over 10% of their body weight using GLP-1 receptor agonist medications, have stopped taking these meds within the last month, can consent to participate, and are fluent in English. It's not specified who cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study explores if usual care, medically tailored meals or a digital health program called Noom® can help maintain weight loss after stopping obesity medication (GLP-1s). The goal is to find cost-effective ways to keep the weight off long-term.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial tests non-medical interventions like special meals and a health app, side effects may be minimal compared to drug treatments. However, changes in diet or lifestyle adjustments could cause digestive changes or psychological impacts.

Other Research
Common treatments for obesity, such as meal replacements and behavioral treatments, work through different mechanisms to promote weight loss and maintenance. Meal replacements provide a controlled, low-calorie alternative to regular meals, helping to reduce overall caloric intake. Behavioral treatments involve strategies like self-monitoring, goal setting, and developing coping skills to modify eating behaviors and lifestyle habits. These approaches are crucial for obesity patients as they offer structured and sustainable methods to manage weight, addressing both dietary intake and behavioral factors that contribute to obesity.
