Mobile weight program
March 11, 2013
Researchers at the University of
Sydney have joined forces with
colleagues at the University of NSW
and UTS to launch a world-first
weight management program for
young adults, delivered via mobile
phones.
“The program helps people to
make better food choices - to eat
and drink better and to include
more fresh produce in their diets,
especially fruit and vegetables,”
said Lead researcher, Associate
Professor Margaret Allman-Farinelli.
“The program is mainly aimed at
those finding they are putting on a
few kilos now they are in their 20s
and early 30s rather than the
obese, who are needing to lose
considerable weight,” she added.
The researchers are currently
recruiting for participants aged 18-
35 to be part of a randomised
controlled trial to test the
program's efficacy.
Those interested in participating
should emailkate.
