    Weight loss programs often lead to improved mood, especially with active participation. This review found no evidence that dieting causes frequent negative mood changes or increases depression-related dropout rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral science
    • Psychology
    • Obesity research

    Background:

    • Mood changes are a common concern during weight loss interventions.
    • Previous research has yielded mixed results on the relationship between mood and weight loss.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing literature on mood changes in participants of behavioral weight loss programs.
    • To identify factors associated with mood alterations during weight reduction.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of ten studies examining mood and weight loss.
    • Analysis of reported mood changes, adverse reactions, and dropout reasons.

    Main Results:

    • Six out of ten studies reported significant positive mood changes.
