Longitudinal studies show there is a steep increase in weight regain in the first 3-4 months after stopping GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (GLP-1s) and most patients regain most of their weight within a year. Insurers now question the utility of GLP-1s for weight loss as they are hesitant to cover these costs long-term (~$833 per person per month). Some patients would also prefer not to take these medications in perpetuity and are likely to struggle with lifelong adherence. These challenges present an opportunity to test alternative interventions, such as meal replacements and behavioral treatments, to support weight maintenance after successful weight loss with GLP-1s. This regimen would allow patients to benefit from significant weight loss in the first year of taking GLP-1s and use more cost effective and sustainable strategies for long-term maintenance.
In the proposed study the investigators will execute a pilot randomized controlled trial to identify whether medically tailored meals (MTM, Group 1, N=20) and/or Noom®, a mobile application (Group 2, N=20) are associated with greater treatment adherence and satisfaction than usual care (Group 3, N=20) after GLP-1 Receptor Agonist cessation. The investigators will enroll adults 18 and older that have lost more than 10% of their bodyweight taking GLP-1 Receptor Agonist and ceased treatment within the past 30-days. For four-months, Group 1 will receive 40 MTM per month, Group 2 will receive a Noom® subscription, and Group 3 will receive lifestyle counseling per standard of care.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medically tailored meals | Experimental | Participants will receive 10 medically tailored meals per week (40 meals per month) for four-months. |
|
| Noom® | Experimental | Participants will receive a paid Noom® subscription for four-months. Noom® is a subscription-based mobile application that provides food intake and exercise tracking and uses principles from psychology to motivate behavior change. |
|
| Usual care | Placebo Comparator | Participants will receive usual care from their provider. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medically tailored meals | Other | Medically tailored meals are nutritious meals formulated for weight wellness. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Adherence | Adherence will be measured using the Perceived Behavior subscale (6-items) from the validated Treatment Adherence Perception Questionnaire (TAPQ). | 4-months |
| Intervention Satisfaction | The Abbreviated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) will be used to measure satisfaction, and be adapted for the interventions understudy. Responses are provided on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from extremely satisfied to extremely dissatisfied. Scores are then transformed to a 0-100 scale with a higher score indicating greater treatment satisfaction. | 4-months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percent weight loss maintained | The electronic health record will be used to determine the participants' weight prior to and at the end of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist treatment to determine the percent of bodyweight lost on GLP-1 Receptor Agonist. Weight will be measured using a Bluetooth scale pre- and post-intervention to calculate the percent of weight loss maintained at the end of the study. | 4-months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Incremental cost effective ratio (ICER) | Incremental cost effectiveness ratios (ICER) will be calculated as the difference in cost to implement each intervention divided by 1) the increase in HEI score and 2) percent weight loss maintained. | 4-months |

Complete masking is not feasible given the nature of the interventions - the program coordinator and participants will know if the participant receives home delivered medically tailored meals, a smart device application subscription, or usual care. The care provider will not be told the participants group assignment, but the participant may reveal it themselves in discussions with the provider.
| Noom® | Behavioral | Noom® is a subscription-based mobile application used to support healthy eating and exercise behavior change. |
|
| Usual care | Other | Care is provided at the discretion of the individual provider (e.g., usual care). |
|
| Diet quality | Healthy eating index-2015 (HEI-2015), scored according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) guidelines from 0-100, with 0 indicating no intake of nutritious foods and 100 indicating higher intake of nutritious food. | 4-months |
