Abstract
This study investigated the long-term efficacy of the treatment of obesity by very low calorie diet, behavior therapy, and their combination. Mean weight losses at the end of treatment for the three conditions were 14.09, 14.26, and 19.25 kg, respectively. Forty-five of 50 subjects were successfully contacted 3 years after treatment, at which time mean weight losses had declined to 3.76, 4.76, and 6.53 kg, respectively. Differences between groups were not significant. More than 40% of subjects reported having sought additional therapy prior to the 3-year follow-up evaluation and reported having lost an average of 3.42 kg. When weight losses for the three conditions were recalculated to correct for the effects of additional therapy, they declined further to 2.20, 3.54, and 5.11 kg, respectively (differences, again, were not significant).
