Supporting Health by Integrating Nutrition and Exercise (SHINE)
The purpose of this study is to compare two approaches to a diet and exercise-based weight
loss program.
The high prevalence of obesity and its medical consequences make it one of the most
important public health issues in the United States today. Few interventions have been
consistently successful at reducing obesity. This trial will test an intervention program
that lasts 22 weeks, with 16 evening sessions and one weekend day. Participants will be
randomized to one of two arms. Both arms will receive diet and exercise intervention
elements. The study aims for gradual weight loss, with a calorie target that will maintain
ideal body weight, rather than a more calorie restricted diet. The exercise component is
based around increasing walking. The arms will compare methods for producing long-lasting
behavior change.
