“Devaluing Foods to Change Eating Behavior”
Excessive eating of energy-dense foods and obesity are risk factors for a range of cancers. There are programs to reduce intake of these foods and weight loss, but the effects of the programs rarely last. This project tests whether altering the value of cancer-risk foods can create lasting change, and uses neuroimaging to compare the efficacy of two programs to engage the valuation system on a neural level. Results will establish the pathways through which the programs work and suggest specific treatments for individuals based on a personalized profile.

Behavioral - Devaluing energy-dense foods for cancer-control
A 3-arm randomized controlled trial experiment study over 12 months. At baseline, participants will complete behavioral, neural, and self-report measures related to food, specifically measures of food valuation and of the proximal neural systems hypothesized to be linked to each of the 2 experimental arms. We will also measure food intake and body composition at baseline. Then participants will be randomized to one of 3 arms (2 experimental + 1 active control) for 8 30-min sessions to occur twic ...read more on ClinicalTrials.org
