The COVID-19 pandemic and weight management: effective behaviors and pandemic-specific risk factors.
This study evaluated weight management efforts among weight loss program participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings showed that most online survey participants reported gaining weight during COVID-19. Further, loneliness and working remotely increased the difficulty of weight management behaviors. However, staying active, planning and tracking food consumption, choosing healthy foods, and reducing emotional eating protected against weight gain during this time.
