Participants will be taught to record their weight, the calories of each food item, and physical activity using a method of their choice (e.g., commercial smartphone app, paper diary). The clinician will review dietary intake and provide personalized feedback at the outset of session.~Diet. Per national guidelines for weight loss, a daily goal of 1200-1800 kcal/day will be prescribed depending on baseline weight. A Mediterranean diet will be prescribed to meet the recommended calorie goal and be consistent with dietary recommendations for CVD patients.~Exercise. Participants will be encouraged to achieve 250 minutes/week of moderate intensity activity in accordance with current national recommendations for physical activity among individuals attempting weight loss. Participants will be encouraged to gradually increase activity level to achieve approximately 50 minutes of activity over five days per week."
