 This study demonstrated that adding a virtual reality component to an existing commercial online weight management program can increase weight loss compared to the same program without the virtual reality component. The virtual reality component allowed participants to practice behavioral skills such as managing their home environment, workplace, physical activity, and social situations. This type of training has been shown to be effective in other settings and this study suggests it could be beneficial for those seeking to lose weight through an online program.
