Standard Behavioral Treatment (SBT)
Standard Behavioral Treatment (SBT) for weight loss introduces a core set of instructions on diet and exercise at the beginning of the intervention and then "embellishes" these instructions with suggested refinements of behavioral choices over time (e.g., different menus and amounts or types of physical activity). weight loss intervention: SBT is state-of-the-art behavioral weight loss treatment, comprised of 6 months of weekly treatment meetings followed by 6 months of biweekly meetings and 6 months of monthly meetings. Topical coverage and behavioral assignments include typical combination of energy balance information and self-control skills training.
Maintenance-Tailored Treatment (MTT)
Maintenance-Tailored Treatment (MTT) for weight loss treats diet and exercise strategy "embellishments" as separate interventions with discrete and independent status. MTT differs from SBT in its emphasis on skills for long-term weight control, namely, the strategy of initiating varied weight-control strategies as a response to the demands of changing environmental challenges and to sustain effective cues and reinforcements needed to motivate weight-loss behaviors. weight loss intervention: MTT has the same number of treatment contacts, but the contacts are distributed in distinct 8-week segments, each of which have a unique topic and unique behavioral assignments.
