ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the effect of the “Lose Weight, Gain Life” program on the eating behavior of overweight and obese members of a Family Medicine Unit (FMU). Methods: A quantitative, quasi-experimental, longitudinal, analytical, and prospective study was conducted among members of FMU Number 85 of the Mexican Social Security Institute in Tarimbaro, Michoacan, Mexico. Two intervention groups were formed: one with the “Lose Weight, Gain Life” program and a control group without the program. The sample was sampled by convenience, from September 2022 to May 2023. A pre- and post-intervention questionnaire was administered; the questionnaire was administered on the same dates to the intervention and control groups. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test and Wilcoxon test; statistical significance was set at p‹0.05, using SPSS version 23 for Windows. Results: Eating habits were adequate in 75% of the intervention group at the end of the program, compared to 64% in the control group, with p=0.67 and p=0.28 respectively. Weight loss was 200g in the control group, with p=0.036, which was not clinically significant. Conclusions: Adherence to dietary intervention programs is influenced by multiple factors, and their study will contribute, first and foremost, to understanding the factors that impede adherence and to modifying programs to improve it.REFERENCES
