America on the Move offers a public health initiative to combat rising obesity rates. Simple lifestyle changes, like reducing calorie intake and increasing daily steps, can effectively prevent weight gain and obesity.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Obesity Prevention

Background:

  • Despite current obesity education, population weight gain persists.
  • Existing strategies have not sufficiently curbed the obesity epidemic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce America on the Move, a public health initiative.
  • To promote small, achievable behavioral changes to prevent weight gain.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing two key behavioral changes: reducing daily caloric intake by 100 kcal and increasing daily physical activity by 2000 steps.
  • Providing free web-based resources and tools for individuals, communities, and worksites.
  • Offering a physician toolkit to support clinical practice integration.

Main Results:
