A randomized trial examining the effect of yoga on dietary lapses and lapse triggers following behavioral weight loss treatment
Abstract Background Dietary lapses can hinder weight loss and yoga can improve self‐regulation, which may protect against lapses. This study examined the effect of yoga on dietary lapses, potential lapse triggers (e.g., affective states, cravings, dietary temptations), and reasons for initiating eat...

| description | Abstract Background Dietary lapses can hinder weight loss and yoga can improve self‐regulation, which may protect against lapses. This study examined the effect of yoga on dietary lapses, potential lapse triggers (e.g., affective states, cravings, dietary temptations), and reasons for initiating eating following weight loss treatment. Methods Sixty women with overweight/obesity (34.3 ± 3.9 kg/m2) were randomized to a 12 week yoga intervention (2x/week; YOGA) or contact‐matched control (cooking/nutrition classes; CON) following a 12‐week behavioral weight loss program. Participants responded to smartphone surveys (5x/day) over a 10‐day period at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks to assess lapses and triggers. Results At 24 weeks, YOGA and CON differed on several types of lapses (i.e., less eating past full, eating more than usual, loss of control when eating, self‐identified overeating, difficulty stopping eating in YOGA), and YOGA was less likely to eat to feel better or in response to stress (ps < 0.05). YOGA also reported less stress and anxiety and more positive affect (ps < 0.01); dietary temptations and cravings did not differ from CON. Conclusion Yoga resulted in fewer dietary lapses and improved affect among women with overweight/obesity following weight loss. While preliminary, findings suggest that yoga should be considered as a potential component of weight loss treatment to target dietary lapses. |
