Test two food cravings strategies during dietary weight loss

The intervention includes 12 online nutrition education sessions using the MealPlot App to track food intake and view the daily weight charts. Participants need to weigh themselves daily using a Wi-Fi scale. Participants will complete 12 asynchronous online diet improvement sessions (eText) lasting 45 minutes each. The 12 sessions will be conducted weekly for the intervention period (12 weeks). The following four sessions will be focused on creating consistent eating and sleeping patterns related to timing, frequency, and portion, as well as daily self-monitoring of weight. After that, participants will continue to complete the rest of asynchronous online diet improvement sessions, including personalized weight loss diets from their kitchen based on their diet practice and food preference, safe and efficient weight loss, weight maintenance and healthy eating, skills to select foods and create meals that prevent overeating, all to be completed by the end of 12 weeks.
