Photographic food diaries change attitudes and behaviors more effectively than written diaries (Zepeda et al., 2008)
Programs relying on technology seem to be more effective when participants can also contact a "live person," either in person or over the Internet, as compared to standardized programs that feature no personal interface (Tate, Jackvony, & Wing, 2003).“
Keeping in touch with clients through telephone and computer contact can be very effective (Fabricatore & Wadden, 2005).“
Lifestyle- and weight-management groups tend to be more effective than individual consultations, regardless of whether individuals say they prefer group or individual counseling (Renjilian et al., 2001)."
