Study Summary

This trial will study the best goal intensity level for a weight loss program for adults with obesity, delivered remotely. It will compare 16 different treatment conditions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults living in the US with a BMI of 25.0 to 45.0 who want to lose weight using behavioral strategies and are willing to use digital tools like Fitbit. It's not for those on other weight loss programs, with recent mental health hospitalizations, past or planned bariatric surgery, current/planned pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant recent weight loss, or conditions that limit moderate exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Ignite Pilot study tests different goal intensities in a digital weight loss program over 10 weeks without face-to-face meetings. Participants will track their food intake and steps while receiving tailored feedback and action plans. Goals vary in difficulty across four areas: calorie intake, step count, eating window duration, and limiting certain foods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a non-medical intervention focusing on lifestyle changes through diet and physical activity goals set within safe limits for the general population seeking weight loss support; no direct side effects from medications or medical procedures are expected.
