Don’t Weight to Lose is an 9-week program designed to
incorporate recommendations from previous studies in
order to promote self-efficacy and long-term behavior
change in dieting and exercise habits. Church-based
health programs have shown to be holistically effective
in eliminating ethnic health disparities. This study
evaluates the effectiveness of this program in (1)
increasing weight loss, (2) increasing fat free mass, (3)
increasing fruit and vegetable intake, (4) and
decreasing body fat %.
To evaluate the effectiveness of:
• High-intensity 20 minute 3x/week resistance band exercise
(8 second repetitions, moderate to heavy resistance, 2 sets)
• High-intensity 20 minute 3x/week cardiovascular exercise
(75-90% full effort pace) on body fat%, fat free mass and
weight loss, and also to determine adherence to practical
changes in dietary recommendations on fruit and vegetable
intake.
High-intensity resistance and cardiovascular exercise are
effective weight loss interventions in church-based health
programs. Practical recommendations in nutrition promote
an increase in fruit and vegetable intake from baseline.
Diuretic use, obesity, and daily habits interfere with body
fluids that are calculated with bioelectric impedance, which
may explain negative outcomes in body fat% and fat free
mass. Don’t Weight to Lose prescriptions in weight loss and
nutrition promote healthy behaviors in the church
community.

102 overweight/obese adults from Franklin
Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans
participated in the study. Body composition, hip
circumference and fruit and vegetable intake were
determined at baseline, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, and 8
weeks. Data was analyzed for those attending 3 of
3 body composition sessions.

Figure 1: Health status reported by participants during the initial assessment phase
50 (49%) attended 3 of 3 body composition
sessions. Significant improvements were noted in
areas of weight loss (-9.4lbs), hip circumference (-
2.5 inches) and fruit and vegetable intake (+3.0).
Body fat % (+1.94%) and fat free mass (-10.58)
were shown to have negative outcomes.
