Abstract
Background/Objectives: Telenutrition has been reported to enable dietitians to support outpa-tients remotely in an accessible and most convenient state. The literature has also proved that both telemonitoring and health coaching are effective approaches for a greater impact on weight loss and client’s compliance to the diet. The purpose of the present study is to assess the impact of a Telenutrition Weight Loss Program supported with telemonitoring and health coaching on weight reduction.; Methods: A pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted among 50 overweight and obese adults. The control group (n=25) have received a hypocaloric and tailored diet via telenutrition. Intervention group (n=25) have also received hypocaloric and tailored diet via telenutrition but supported with weekly telemonitoring and monthly health coaching; Results: Participants who joined the intervention group had a reduction in weight, BMI, fat%, visceral fat, and WC. Whereas participants in the control group only had a reduction in WC after a period of 3 months. In comparison between the groups, a greater reduction in weight, BMI, fat % and visceral fat was seen in the intervention group. Furthermore, muscle % after a period of 3 months was sig-nificantly higher in the intervention group. At 6 months follow-up, the intervention group still showed promising results, but it was not significant; Conclusions: Our data indicate that all three approaches telenutrition, telemonitoring and health coaching when combined provides an integrative personalized approach, which may have a significant impact on weight loss in obese and overweight individuals.
