Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

In-person Group

Participants randomized to this group will have a health educator to their house for in-person meetings. Participants will use paper forms to track progress in other parts of the study. Participants will be asked follow the Enhanced Stop Light Diet (eSLD) and take part in structured physical activity each week.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

In-person Meetings

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Individual face-to-face (FTF) meetings with a health educator.

Enhanced Stop Light Diet

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Diet composed of healthy, pre-packaged meals, balance of fruits, vegetables, and low calories snacks, and shakes. Participants and study partners will be trained to use a color coded chart which categorize foods based on the Stop Light system (green, yellow, red) to assist in meal planning, grocery shopping, decisions regarding snack foods, and compliance with the diet in special situations such as eating away from home (restaurants, parties, etc.).

Physical Activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be asked to complete a set amount of time of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each week. Participants in the Computer group will be asked to attend remote exercise sessions 2 times a week.

Computer Group

Participants randomized to this group will use an iPad to talk to the health educator via video conference meetings. Participants will use the iPad to track progress in other parts of the study. Participants will be asked follow the Enhanced Stop Light Diet (eSLD) and take part in structured physical activity each week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Video Conference Meetings

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Individual video conferencing with a health educator using an iPad.

* No plans to relocate outside the study area over the next 24 months
* Internet access in the home

Exclusion Criteria

* Unable to participate in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
* Insulin dependent diabetes
