| Abstract | Obesity is an important public health concern with limited effective treatment options. Internet-based technologies offer a cost-effective means to treat obesity. However, most of the online programs have been of short duration, have focused on a limited number of treatment modalities, and have not utilized the potential of coaching as part of the intervention. In this paper, we present the design, methods and participants' baseline characteristics in a real-life internet-based weight management program. Healthy Weight Coaching (HWC) is a 12-month web-based intervention for the management of obesity. The program is based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and includes themes important for weight loss, including diet, physical activity, psychological factors, and sleep. In addition to the automated, interactive program, a personal coach is allocated to each participant. The participants are nationally enrolled through referrals from primary care, occupational health, hospitals, and private health care units. Adult individuals with BMI ≥25 kg/m Trial registration: The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.cov (Clinical Trials Identifier NCT04019249). |
