The Effects of Health Coaching on Weight Loss and Behavior Change

A sample of 21 individuals participated in a research study to examine the effect of a health mentor on weight status and weight management behaviors during an eight-week weight loss challenge. Data were evaluated through an initial weigh-in to examine start weight and start BMI, also pre and post evaluation surveys were administered to gather weight management information on topics such as physical activity, meal planning, breakfast consumption and water intake.
