Active Comparator: Small Changes
|
The Small Changes program is an evidence-based 6-month weight-management program.
The program runs weekly for 3 months followed by by-weekly contact for 3-months (1x in-person group and 1x phone call).
This program uses behaviour change strategies to help with weight loss.
The Small Changes approach is different from traditional dieting programs because it encourages modest changes to diet and physical activity which are not overly taxing to maintain.
Participants are asked to reduce their nutritional intake by 200-400 calories per day.
You will also be asked to increase their daily step count by 2000-3000 steps.
Weekly intervention topics include: Monitoring, Nutrition, Physical Activity, Breaking the Chain, External Cues, Mindful Eating, Body Image, Stress, Sleep, Social Support, Social Eating, and the Stoplight Guide.
|
|
Experimental: INSPIRE
|
The INSPIRE program is a modification to the Small Changes program.
It combines elements of positive psychology and behaviour change to help with weight loss.
The first four weeks of the program are oriented towards improving well-being and include topics such as values, self-compassion/mindfulness, character strengths, and gratitude.
The remaining 8 weeks mirrors the Small Changes program in making modest changes to diet and physical activity to achieve weight loss.
Participants are asked to reduce their nutritional intake by 200-400 calories per day.
Participants will also be asked to increase their daily step count by 2000-3000 steps.

Change from Baseline on the Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences
Time Frame: 3 months
|
The Scale of Positive and Negative Experiences 12-item self-report measure that will be used to measure two components of subjective well-being (positive affect and negative affect).
The 12-items load onto two sub-scales: one pertaining to Positive Affect and the other pertaining to Negative Affect.
Both subscales range from 6 to 30.
Higher scores on these two sub-scales indicate greater experiences of either positive or negative affect states (i.e., higher scores on the SPANE-PA scale indicates greater frequency of experiencing positive emotions).
