Long‐Term Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity Using a Breath Biofeedback mHealth App: A One‐Year Follow‐Up of a Randomized Trial
This study demonstrates that a Mediterranean-style diet promoting carbohydrate restriction coupled with biofeedback support delivered via an mHealth app results in clinically meaningful sustained weight loss at 48 weeks. Given its practicality and demonstrated effectiveness, this approach presents a promising non-pharmacological alternative or complement for longer-term weight management.
