- Abstract
The article focuses on a randomized trial of a commercial weight loss program for overweight women. It stresses that the main factor that must be addressed to promote weight loss is a reduction in intake relative to expenditure. In previous research, prepackaged meals have been demonstrated to be superior in promoting weight loss. Aspects of one commercial program called the Jenny Craig (JC) program, including increased physical activity, are also discussed.
