About this study
Official title: Is MyPlate.Gov Approach to Helping Overweight Patients Lose Weight More Patient-centered?
Investigators from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and The Children's Clinic of Long Beach (TCC) are conducting a randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial of two government-sanctioned behavior change approaches to weight control with TCC's obese patients. The first approach is the calorie-counting calorie restriction (CC) approach used in the Diabetes Prevention Program. The second approach is the high-satiation/high-satiety approach represented by MyPlate.gov. The MyPlate nutritional goal is to double patient fruit and vegetable intake, legume intake, and whole grain intake. Both conditions stipulate 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week. Study participants will be 300 of TCC's obese patients, 76% of whom are expected to be Latino, 13% African American and 11% Other Ethnicities.
The interventions will be implemented by trained community lifestyle change coaches with brief support from clinicians. The interventions will include two home visits, two group education sessions and seven telephone behavior change coaching sessions.
Compared to the CC approach, the MyPlate approach is hypothesized to yield better 12 months patient-centered outcomes, particularly self-reported satiety.
Read the detailed description
The traditional government advice for weight loss in obese patients has been calorie-counting(CC) / portion control. In 2011 the government began recommending the MyPlate approach (MyP) for optimal nutrition and better weight control. The CC condition asks obese patients to reduce their daily calorie intake to less than a recommended calorie target. The MyP approach also limits daily calories but emphasizes eating MORE high-satiation foods by making ½ of daily food choices fruits and vegetables, and ¼ of daily food choices whole grains. The relative patient-centered outcome effectiveness of the MyP approach versus the CC approach has yet to be tested in clinic patients.
Specific Aims:
In partnership with a local community clinic, the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the patient-centeredness and efficacy of usual care compared to two government-supported lifestyle change approaches to reducing patient obesity risk. Study participants are 300 obese, low income, mostly Latino and African American adult patients or staff associated with a community health center in Long Beach, California. The interventions will be implemented by trained community lifestyle change coaches with brief support from clinicians.
The first weight loss approach is the calorie-counting (CC), portion-cutting approach recommended at www.nutrition.gov . The second is the fill-up-sooner-on-fewer-calories approach found at http://www.choosemyplate.gov (MyP). The CC condition asks overweight patients to reduce their daily calorie intake to less than a recommended calorie target. The MyP approach also limits daily calories but emphasizes eating MORE high-satiation foods by making ½ of daily food choices fruits and vegetables, and ¼ of daily food choices whole grains. MyP uses progressive goal-setting to facilitate a doubling of usual fruit and vegetable intake. To facilitate adherence, the MyP approach also includes home environment changes to make healthier choices easier choices. All conditions encourage doing at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week. Primary patient-centered outcomes include self-reported satiety, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy to eat more fruits and vegetables, patient autonomy, and patient satisfaction, all of which are hypothesized to favor the MyP condition at 12 months follow-up relative to the CC condition. The primary medical outcome is a reduction in body weight.
Specific Aims Aim #1. Use qualitative information from patients and clinical staff to revise intervention materials and procedures. Aim #2. Use results of a pilot test of the intervention conditions to revise intervention materials and procedures. Aim #3. Conduct a 1-year RCT involving two home visits, two group education classes, and seven telephone support/ lifestyle change coaching calls. Aim #4. Obtain qualitative data from providers and coaches; combine with participant data to assess intervention feasibility, acceptability and perceived usefulness. Aim #5. Disseminate results and recommendations to community groups and public health professionals.
Primary patient-centered hypothesis: Compared to the CC approach, the MyP approach will yield better 1-year outcomes on self-reported satiety and systolic blood pressure. Both government-recommended conditions will yield significant and similar 12 months declines in body weight.
The MyPlate distillation of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans shifted the emphasis of nutrition recommendations for desirable weight loss from counting calories to maximizing satiation, through the practical steps of eating MORE fruits and vegetables, MORE whole grains, MORE nonfat dairy, MORE water (and LESS sugary beverages). Calorie counting helps lose excess weight in the short term but rarely is able to sustain desirable weight loss long-term. The MyPlate approach may be easier to sustain because it allows eating up to 25 percent more grams of food even as it reduces baseline calorie intake by 10 percent; the extra daily grams of food help the patient to feel full even while she is losing weight. Because MyPlate is a distillation of recommendations for all healthy Americans, regardless of body size, it can guide eating choices for everyone in the family and do so for a lifetime. If the MyPlate approach is shown to be as effective in helping patients to sustain 1-year weight loss as the DPP approach, more clinicians can be expected to actively engage their obese patients in weight loss efforts.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Calorie-countingBehavioural
Also called DPP intensive lifestyle change intervention
The Calorie Counting (CC) condition asks obese patients to achieve a daily calorie deficit. For average women consuming 2,000 calories at baseline, the target daily calorie total might be 1,600 calories. Participants are also asked to do at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week.
Two community health workers will provide behavior change coaching to 150 TCC obese patients randomly assigned to the CC condition. The intervention protocol is adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program. Behavior change strategies include: self-monitoring (e.g., calorie-counting, self-weighing), stimulus control, and relapse prevention strategies. The health coaching will occur during two home visits, two group health education sessions, and 7 telephone coaching calls.
MyPlateBehavioural
Also called DASH diet intervention
The MyPlate approach asks Americans to limit daily calories but emphasizes eating MORE high-satiation foods by making ½ of daily food choices fruits and vegetables,¼ of daily food choices whole grains. All participants are asked to do at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week.
Two community health workers will provide behavior change coaching to 150 TCC obese patients randomly assigned to the MyPlate condition. MyPlate is adapted from the DASH protocol. Behavior change strategies include: progressive goal-setting, stimulus control, and self-monitoring (e.g., % of food choices that are fruits \& vegetables). The health coaching will occur during two home visits, two group health education sessions, and 7 telephone behavior change coaching calls.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient-centered Outcome Measure = Self-reported Hunger
Response to question: "Thinking about yesterday, how hungry did you feel during the day?" Response was a mark on a 100mm scale or oral response on a scale from 0 to 100 (for participants assessed via phone), 0="Not at all hungry" and 100="Extremely hungry."
Measured: 12 months follow-up
Medical Outcome Measure = Body Weight
Body weight, measured in kilograms, was obtained by having shoeless participants dressed in light clothing stand on a regularly calibrated medical scale. Measures were taken twice. If these measures differed by more than 0.2 kg, a third measure was taken and averaged with the other two.
Measured: 12 months follow-up
Meal Satisfaction Yesterday
"Take a moment to think about the last meal you ate yesterday. Thinking about the last meal you ate, how satisfied were you after the meal?" Response was a mark on a 100 mm visual analogue scale or response to oral question on a scale from 0 to 100 (for participants assessed via phone), with the low end (0) anchored by "Very satisfied" and the high end (100) anchored by "Very unsatisfied." For analysis purposes this measure was reverse-scored, so that higher values represented greater meal satisfaction.
Measured: 12 months follow-up
Feeling Full After Last Meal Yesterday
"Take a moment to think about the last meal yesterday. Thinking about the last meal you ate, how full did you feel after that meal?" Response was a mark on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS), or oral response to question on a scale from 0 to 100 (for participants assessed via phone), 0="Extremely full" and 100="Not at all full." For analysis purposes this measure was reverse-scored, so that higher values represented greater fullness.
Measured: 12 months follow-up
Secondary outcomes (3)
Systolic Blood Pressure
Systolic blood pressure assessed on participant's left arm while participant is seated, after at least 5 minutes of rest. Automated, regularly calibrated sphygmomanometer was used with oversize cuffs for obese arms.
Measured: 12 months follow-up
Body Mass Index
Body mass index is weight in kilograms divided by the square of the participant's height measured in meters. Wall-mounted stadiometer was used to assess height. Weekly-calibrated, portable, digital scales were used to assess body weight.
Measured: 12 months follow-up
Waist Circumference
The waist circumference was assessed using research standard waist circumference measuring tapes. The result was measured to closest 0.1 cm. The assessor was instructed to position the measuring tape horizontally around the waist, just above the iliac crest.
Measured: 12 months follow-up

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Investigators from the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and The Children's Clinic of Long Beach (TCC) are conducting a randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial of two government-sanctioned behavior change approaches to weight control with TCC's obese patients. The first approach is the calorie-counting calorie restriction (CC) approach used in the Diabetes Prevention Program. The second approach is the high-satiation/high-satiety approach represented by MyPlate.gov. The MyPlate nutritional goal is to double patient fruit and vegetable intake, legume intake, and whole grain intake. Both conditions stipulate 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week. Study participants will be 300 of TCC's obese patients, 76% of whom are expected to be Latino, 13% African American and 11% Other Ethnicities.
The interventions will be implemented by trained community lifestyle change coaches with brief support from clinicians. The interventions will include two home visits, two group education sessions and seven telephone behavior change coaching sessions.
Compared to the CC approach, the MyPlate approach is hypothesized to yield better 12 months patient-centered outcomes, particularly self-reported satiety.
Detailed description
The traditional government advice for weight loss in obese patients has been calorie-counting(CC) / portion control. In 2011 the government began recommending the MyPlate approach (MyP) for optimal nutrition and better weight control. The CC condition asks obese patients to reduce their daily calorie intake to less than a recommended calorie target. The MyP approach also limits daily calories but emphasizes eating MORE high-satiation foods by making ½ of daily food choices fruits and vegetables, and ¼ of daily food choices whole grains. The relative patient-centered outcome effectiveness of the MyP approach versus the CC approach has yet to be tested in clinic patients.
Specific Aims:
In partnership with a local community clinic, the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the patient-centeredness and efficacy of usual care compared to two government-supported lifestyle change approaches to reducing patient obesity risk. Study participants are 300 obese, low income, mostly Latino and African American adult patients or staff associated with a community health center in Long Beach, California. The interventions will be implemented by trained community lifestyle change coaches with brief support from clinicians.
The first weight loss approach is the calorie-counting (CC), portion-cutting approach recommended at www.nutrition.gov . The second is the fill-up-sooner-on-fewer-calories approach found at http://www.choosemyplate.gov (MyP). The CC condition asks overweight patients to reduce their daily calorie intake to less than a recommended calorie target. The MyP approach also limits daily calories but emphasizes eating MORE high-satiation foods by making ½ of daily food choices fruits and vegetables, and ¼ of daily food choices whole grains. MyP uses progressive goal-setting to facilitate a doubling of usual fruit and vegetable intake. To facilitate adherence, the MyP approach also includes home environment changes to make healthier choices easier choices. All conditions encourage doing at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week. Primary patient-centered outcomes include self-reported satiety, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy to eat more fruits and vegetables, patient autonomy, and patient satisfaction, all of which are hypothesized to favor the MyP condition at 12 months follow-up relative to the CC condition. The primary medical outcome is a reduction in body weight.
Specific Aims Aim #1. Use qualitative information from patients and clinical staff to revise intervention materials and procedures. Aim #2. Use results of a pilot test of the intervention conditions to revise intervention materials and procedures. Aim #3. Conduct a 1-year RCT involving two home visits, two group education classes, and seven telephone support/ lifestyle change coaching calls. Aim #4. Obtain qualitative data from providers and coaches; combine with participant data to assess intervention feasibility, acceptability and perceived usefulness. Aim #5. Disseminate results and recommendations to community groups and public health professionals.
Primary patient-centered hypothesis: Compared to the CC approach, the MyP approach will yield better 1-year outcomes on self-reported satiety and systolic blood pressure. Both government-recommended conditions will yield significant and similar 12 months declines in body weight.
The MyPlate distillation of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans shifted the emphasis of nutrition recommendations for desirable weight loss from counting calories to maximizing satiation, through the practical steps of eating MORE fruits and vegetables, MORE whole grains, MORE nonfat dairy, MORE water (and LESS sugary beverages). Calorie counting helps lose excess weight in the short term but rarely is able to sustain desirable weight loss long-term. The MyPlate approach may be easier to sustain because it allows eating up to 25 percent more grams of food even as it reduces baseline calorie intake by 10 percent; the extra daily grams of food help the patient to feel full even while she is losing weight. Because MyPlate is a distillation of recommendations for all healthy Americans, regardless of body size, it can guide eating choices for everyone in the family and do so for a lifetime. If the MyPlate approach is shown to be as effective in helping patients to sustain 1-year weight loss as the DPP approach, more clinicians can be expected to actively engage their obese patients in weight loss efforts.
