Why we cite it
A secondary analysis from the WEIGH RCT reporting that daily self-weighing produces significantly greater weight loss and behaviour adoption than weighing most days of the week — in a treatment-seeking overweight adult population. Its participants were motivated adults enrolled in a weight-loss trial; a 2015 review (Pacanowski et al.) finds self-weighing benefits mainly in treatment-seeking populations.
