Virtual Weight Control Program Tailored for Adults With Type 2 Diabetes (VITAL)

This 6-month intervention includes the use of WW's mobile app, weekly virtual workshops, and private online community. The program involves: self-monitoring of weight, dietary intake, and physical activity; dietary changes; increasing physical activity; shift in mindset; and behavioral strategies to manage goals. Participants will set goals and weigh-in with a coach via virtual workshop weekly and be encouraged to use the app and private online community daily. The virtual workshop features a behavior change technique and enables the participant to practice it to support their goals. Participants are given a personalized food plan based on expert healthy eating guidelines, an activity plan to promote regular physical activity and techniques to help shift mindset for lasting change. The coach will help with goal setting, overcoming setbacks, and follow-up on progress toward goals weekly. Participants will be encouraged to participate in a private Facebook group for motivational support.
