Relation of Reward from Food Intake and Anticipated Food Intake to Obesity: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (2008, neutral): “Regrettably, the treatment of choice for obesity only results in transitory weight loss (Jeffery et al., 2000), and most obesity prevention programs do not reduce risk for future weight gain (Stice, Shaw, & Marti, 2006).”
Does physical activity prevent weight gain – a systematic review (2000, methodology): “We searched for research reports divided into four types of studies: (1) prospective, observational studies (no intervention); (2) studies with a non-randomized (as regards to exercise) weight reduction phase and a prospective, observational follow-up; (3) randomized weight reduction interventions w”
How much physical activity is enough to prevent unhealthy weight gain? Outcome of the IASO 1st Stock Conference and consensus statement (2003, background): “Because weight maintenance after weight reduction is more difficult than initial weight loss (33), a systematic review was completed to specifically evaluate the effects of PA on weight loss maintenance (29).”
The Look AHEAD Study: A Description of the Lifestyle Intervention and the Evidence Supporting It (2006, neutral): “Sessions reinforce behavioral strategies introduced in the 1st year and, when appropriate, apply them to the problems of lapse and relapse (68).”
Pleasure in the mind: Restrained eating and spontaneous hedonic thoughts about food. (2007, background): “However, it seems that most dieters are not able to follow their diet consistently, as there are only a few able to reduce their body weight in the long term (JeVery et al., 2000).”

Getting worse: the stigmatization of obese children. (2003, background): “The results of the present study suggest that in addition to efforts at treating obesity in children (25), there is a need for education, prevention, and intervention aimed at increasing acceptance and decreasing negative attitudes and behaviors directed at obese children.”
The allure of forbidden food: On the role of attention in self-regulation (2008, background): “Although dieting is a very popular means of weight control, it is very difficult for most people to maintain a successful weight loss diet, and only few dieters are able to reduce their body weight in the long-term (Jeffery et al., 2000).”
Author's Personal Copy Understanding the relationship between obesity and positive and negative affect: The role of psychosocial mechanisms § (2007, background): “Given the poor prognosis for the long-term management of obesity, clinicians and health care providers need to expand their foci to include strategies other than weight management alone, in order to improve the wellbeing of obese adults ( Jeffery et al., 2000 ).”
Introduction to SMART designs for the development of adaptive interventions: with application to weight loss research (2014, background): “, in the case of weight loss medications), or respond within the same time-frame, to any given treatment or package of treatments (between-persons heterogeneity; [5, 6].”
