Behavioral treatments for obesity seek to modify eating and exercise behaviors by a change in their antecedents and consequences. More direct modification of antecedents and consequences by (1) the provision of food to patients and (2) the provision of financial rewards for weight loss was hypothesized to improve treatment outcomes. 202 men and women were randomly assigned to no treatment, standard behavioral treatment (SBT), SBT plus food provision, SBT plus incentives, or SBT plus food provision and incentives. The major finding was that food provision significantly enhanced weight loss. Weight losses with SBT averaged 7.7, 4.5, and 4.1 kg at 6, 12, and 18 mo, respectively, compared with 10.1, 9.1, and 6.4 kg, respectively, at the same intervals with the addition of food. Food provision also enhanced attendance, completion of food records, quality of diet, and nutrition knowledge. The authors conclude that the provision of food to weight-loss patients is a promising methodology that deserves further exploration.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
