    Overweight women often experience weight cycling due to diet and exercise failures. The Holistic Self-Care Model offers a comprehensive approach, integrating physical, cognitive, and psychological strategies for sustainable weight management.

    Area of Science:

    • Integrative health
    • Behavioral science
    • Obesity research

    Background:

    • Nearly 25% of US adult women are overweight, facing challenges with effective weight control.
    • Weight cycling, characterized by repeated weight loss and regain, exacerbates adiposity and poses significant health risks.
    • Existing weight control interventions often neglect psychological factors, contributing to program failure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Holistic Self-Care Model as a novel intervention for overweight women experiencing weight cycling.
    • To address the limitations of traditional diet and exercise programs by incorporating psychological and cognitive components.
    • To promote long-term weight control and reduce the negative consequences of weight cycling.
