Obese patients given “weight-loss support remotely—through the telephone, a study-specific Web site, and e-mail” lost an average of 10.1 lbs during a two-year study versus an average weight loss of 11.2 lbs for those provided in-person support during group sessions and individual sessions, along with the three remote means of support (telephone, a study-specific Web site, and e-mail support) according to a study from researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
A third group of obese people whose weight loss was self-directed lost an average of only 1.8 lbs.
