Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: FBT+VarietyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The FBT+Variety condition will receive FBT along with a limited variety prescription. In this prescription families will identify two RED foods, a dinner entree and snack food, and develop meal plans that reduce variety of RED foods by regularly consuming these foods and limiting consumption of other RED entrees and snack foods.

Group II: FBT (family-based behavioral treatment)Active Control1 Intervention

This condition will be prescribed the Traffic Light Diet (1000-1500 kcal/day, < 2 servings/day of RED [non-nutrient-dense, energy-dense] foods) and a > 60 min/day of MVPA prescription for children and > 30 min/day of MVPA for adults at least 5 days/week. FBT will receive a family-based, behavioral intervention to assist the targeted child and a participating adult caregiver with making changes in energy balance behaviors.
