Summary

This trial aims to study how a combination of behavioral intervention and technology can help young adults lose weight. Obesity and related health risks are common issues, and current methods to address them are not always successful.

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The trial is testing two lifestyle interventions aimed at weight loss in young adults. It explores how behavioral changes combined with technology can help manage obesity and prevent related health risks.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle interventions, side effects may include typical reactions to diet changes or increased physical activity such as muscle soreness, fatigue, or digestive adjustments.
