Weight Loss Expectations of Adults With Binge Eating: Cross-sectional Study With a Human-Centered Design Approach.

In the sample, people interested in a study to inform a digital intervention for binge eating and weight management overestimated their expectations for weight loss. Given that weight loss expectations can impact treatment completion and success, it may be important to assess and modify weight loss expectations among people with binge eating prior to enrolling in a digital intervention. Future work should design and test features that can modify these expectations relative to individuals' intended treatment goals to facilitate engagement and successful outcomes in a digital intervention.
