After weight loss, people often find it difficult to maintain their new weight and many regain the weight that they lost. Growing evidence suggests that interventions based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) may be more effective than standard treatments for longer-term weight control.
The SWiM (Supporting Weight Management) feasibility study is testing a new online acceptance-based intervention to investigate whether this helps people to maintain their weight loss, and improve their physical and mental health, compared to standard treatment.
