Randomly assigned 202 overweight men and women to no treatment, standard behavioral treatment (SBT), SBT plus food provision, SBT plus incentives, or SBT plus food provision and incentives. Found that food provision significantly enhanced weight loss. Food provision also enhanced attendance, completion of food records, quality of diet, and nutrition knowledge. (Author/NB)
