Announced its inclusion in BestFIT: a Personalized Weight Loss Study
Healthy For Life Meals, a Minneapolis based, nutritionally controlled meal service company, has announced its inclusion in BestFIT: a Personalized Weight Loss Study. BestFIT is a 4-year clinical trial sponsored by the Health Partners Institute and with these collaborators: National Cancer Institute, University of Minnesota, Drexel University, University of Michigan, and the University of Washington. This work is supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends referral to behavioural weight loss programs to help obese adults achieve a clinically meaningful weight loss of 8-10% of starting body weight. However, approximately half of the participants are unable to achieve this goal. This study focuses on whether supplementing behavioural treatment with pre-made, nutritionally controlled meals, via Healthy For Life Meals (HFLM), or changing to a more enhanced version of behavioural weight loss therapy, is more effective.
The study of 469 participants began in May 2015 and concluded in April 2019. The results are expected to be submitted for publication soon.
With a reputation for integrity, quality, and excellent customer care, Healthy For Life Meals stands apart in a marketplace full of trendy meal kit services and gimmicky weight-loss companies.
