Group I: GREEN FOOD Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants in the GREEN FOOD group will be taught a simplified way of identifying low-calorie foods (green foods) and maximizing them using the Traffic Light Diet. Maximizing the number of green foods consumed is a simple way to reduce dietary energy density while allowing for consumption of a satisfying amount (i.e. weight and volume) of food. Maximizing green food consumption may simultaneously reduce red food consumption, thereby reducing calorie intake and promoting greater diet quality than red food reduction alone. Participants in this group will also use the study website to track their green foods and will be given a daily green food goal based on their baseline weight and will track their green foods on the study website daily. Participants will be recommended to enter their green foods at least once per day (at which time they would enter all green foods for the day), but ideally multiple times per day to reduce errors associated with recall.
Group II: RED FOOD Intervention GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the RED FOOD group will be taught a simplified way of identifying high-calorie foods (red foods) and reducing them using the Traffic Light Diet. Limiting the number of red foods consumed is a simple way to reduce calories without having to track calories. Participants in this group will use the study website to track their red foods and will be given a daily red food limit base on their baseline weight and will track their red foods on the study website daily. Participants will be recommended to enter their red foods at least once per day (at which time they would enter all red foods for the day), but ideally multiple times per day to reduce errors associated with recall.
