Abstract
Methods We performed a secondary analysis of 142 obese participants who had lost at least 10 pounds in a conventional weight loss program and who were randomized to the experimental weight loss maintenance intervention. This experimental intervention consisted of instruction and application of an energy psychology intervention, Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). TAT practice combined self-acupressure with a prescribed set of mental steps. Participants were advised to practice TAT at home daily. The main outcome measure was self reported frequency of TAT practice.
