The Relationship Between Feasting Periods and Weight Gain: a Systematic Scoping Review
TLDR
Interventions targeting festive periods could have a significant impact on population weight gain, and the scalability and sustainability of such interventions require further investigation, as do the broader socioecological factors driving unhealthy eating during festive periods.
Preventing weight gain in adults: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
TLDR
It is demonstrated that lifestyle intervention prevents cumulative weight gain in non-obese adults, with future research required to inform cost-effectiveness and implementation feasibility.
Effectiveness of a self-regulation intervention for weight loss: A randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
Guiding participants through the self-regulation process was feasible, acceptable to participants, and led to significantly greater short-term weight loss than unguided self-weighing.
Self-reported changes in energy balance behaviors during COVID-19 related home confinement: A Cross-Sectional Study
TLDR
The findings support the need to implement and support measures that promote strategies to maintain body weight and establish a methodology to collect body weight data at multiple time points to longitudinally assess the dynamic relationship between behaviors and body weight change.
Regular weighing to prevent excessive gestational weight gain: a study protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
This study will provide key information for countries to develop guidelines on antenatal care and strategies to tackle excessive gestational weight gain and will create a “Summary of findings” table according to the methods described in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.
Effects of Intervention Characteristics on Willingness to Initiate a Weight Gain Prevention Program
TLDR
Targeting self-weighing and providing financial incentives for self-monitoring may result in greater uptake of weight gain prevention programs.
Consistently biased: documented consistency in self-reported holiday healthfulness behaviors and associated social desirability bias
TLDR
Consistency was found in self-reported agreement with a series of holiday healthfulness statements, across time, holidays, and samples of respondents, which are notable in both self-reporting of health-related data and in studying a unique consumption period around the holidays.
COVID‐19 related home confinement in adults: weight gain risks and opportunities
TLDR
This extended home confinement in the global COVID‐19 pandemic could exacerbate the problem of obesity in adults by substantially contributing to or exceeding annual weight gain.

  • 2021
TLDR
This study provided a good warning and educational reference value on lifestyle changes during the COVID-19 confinement, with normal-weight people were more likely to gain weight than people with overweight/obesity during the co-ordinated confinement.
Walking on Water—A Natural Experiment of a Population Health Intervention to Promote Physical Activity after the Winter Holidays
TLDR
A winter-specific urban trail network on a frozen waterway substantially increased visits to an existing urban trail system and was associated with a meaningful dose of MVPA, which could nudge populations living in cold climates towards more activity during winter months.

Frequent Self‐Weighing with Electronic Graphic Feedback to Prevent Age‐Related Weight Gain in Young Adults
An intervention using Wi‐Fi scales and graphic e‐mail feedback, the caloric titration method (CTM), to reduce age‐related weight gain over 1 year among college students was evaluated.
Consistent Self‐monitoring of Weight: A Key Component of Successful Weight Loss Maintenance
TLDR
The characteristics associated with frequent self-weighing and the relationship between self‐weigheding and weight loss maintenance were investigated to investigate the effects of diet and exercise on weight loss.
The efficacy of a daily self-weighing weight loss intervention using smart scales and email
TLDR
To examine the impact of a weight loss intervention that focused on daily self‐weighing for self‐monitoring as compared to a delayed control group among 91 overweight adults, a large number of overweight adults were obese.
Self‐weighing in weight management: A systematic literature review
TLDR
The objective is to review the literature related to longitudinal associations between self‐weighing and weight change as well as the psychological outcomes.
The effect of holiday weight gain on body weight
A prospective study of holiday weight gain.
TLDR
The average holiday weight gain is less than commonly asserted, and the net 0.48-kg weight gain in the fall and winter probably contributes to the increase in body weight that frequently occurs during adulthood.
Daily Self-Weighing to Control Body Weight in Adults
TLDR
In conclusion, daily self-weighing may be a useful strategy for certain adults to prevent weight gain, lose weight, or prevent weight regain after loss.
Regular self-weighing to promote weight maintenance after intentional weight loss: a quasi-randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
Encouraging people who have recently lost weight to weigh themselves regularly prevents some weight regain.
Self-weighing in weight gain prevention and weight loss trials
TLDR
Results support the idea that daily weighing is valuable to individuals trying to lose weight or prevent weight gain, and should be emphasized in clinical and public health messages about weight control.
Holiday weight gain: fact or fiction?
TLDR
It is suggested that holiday weight gain may be an important contributor to the rising prevalence of obesity, even though absolute values for weight gain in this study were less than anticipated.
