Mood and Weight Loss in a Behavioral Treatment Program.

Wing, Rena R.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v51 n1 p153-55 Feb 1983

Evaluated the relationship between mood and weight loss for 76 patients participating in two consecutive behavioral treatment programs. Weight losses averaged 12.2 pounds (5.55 kg) during the 10-week program. Positive changes in mood were reported during this interval, and these changes appeared to be related to changes in weight.
