Family Based Treatment for Weight Loss With Breakfast Prescription
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a behavioral weight loss group in conjunction with a prescribed breakfast can help children between 8 and 12 years of age change their behaviors to help them lose weight and become healthier.
The purpose of this application is to evaluate the acceptability and initial efficacy of consumption of an egg breakfast, compared to a cereal breakfast, in the context of Family-based Behavioral Treatment (FBT) with overweight and obese children and their parents. Investigators will randomize 66 parents and their overweight and obese child (85-99.9%BMI) to FBT+egg or FBT+cereal groups. Families will eat their assigned breakfast (eggs or cereal) 5 out of 7 days during the 4 month FBT treatment. However, all other aspects of FBT will be the same in the two groups. Children and parents will complete assessments at three time points; baseline, post-treatment and 4-months post-treatment.
