Although most efforts are directed toward identifying biological or metabolic factors, several behavioral and psychological factors can also be responsible for some of this interindividual variability. // Recent Findings: There are many factors that can influence the response to dietary weight loss interventions, including factors related to eating behavior (emotional eating, disinhibition, restraint, perceived stress), behaviors and societal norms related to age and sex, psychological and personal factors (motivation, self-efficacy, locus of control, self-concept), and major life events. // Summary: The success of a weight loss intervention can be influenced by many psychological and behavioral constructs and not merely by physiological factors such as biology and genetics. These factors are difficult to capture accurately and are often overlooked. Future weight loss studies should consider assessing such factors to better understand the underlying reasons for the large interindividual variability to weight loss therapy. date: 2023-09 date_type: published publisher: Springer Nature official_url: https://doi.org/10.1007/s13679-023-00511-6 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2030342 doi: 10.1007/s13679-023-00511-6 medium: Print-Electronic pii: 10.1007/s13679-023-00511-6 lyricists_name: Kalea, Anastasia lyricists_id: AKALE23 actors_name: Kalea, Anastasia actors_id: AKALE23 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Current Obesity Reports volume: 12 number: 3 pagerange: 223-230 pages: 8 event_location: United States issn: 2162-4968 citation: Pigsborg, Kristina; Kalea, Anastasia Z; De Dominicis, Stefano; Magkos, Faidon; (2023) Behavioral and Psychological Factors Affecting Weight Loss Success.
