Purpose
The specific objectives of this project are to:
- Investigate the effects of reducing TV viewing time on energy intake, eating behavior, and energy expenditure in overweight or obese adult subjects, thus providing a basis for evaluating if reducing TV viewing time might be a useful adjunct therapy in obesity prevention and treatment
- Analyze the types of foods eaten in conjunction with TV viewing
- Determine if there is an association between location of TV and BMI.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: 1
This arm will be experiencing the same protocol as the control group, only their TV viewing time will be reduced. The TV viewing time reduction is the experimental intervention.
|
Behavioral: TV viewing reduction
In the experimental arm, TV viewing time will be reduced for half of the study protocol time (3-4 weeks of a 6-8 week protocol).
|
|
Active Comparator: Control
The control group will be experiencing the exact protocol; only their TV viewing time will not be reduced.
|
Behavioral: No TV viewing reduction
In the control group, no intervention will be acted upon. This group will receive the exact same protocol as the intervention group, but with observation only.
