Plus/minus values are means ± SD; VLCD = Very low calorie diet; SG = Self-guided; EI = Eating Inventory

Sample sizes vary due to missing data at 6 months: dietary intake (VLCD: n=22; Commercial: n=81; SG: n=62), physical activity (VLCD: n=24; Commercial: n=88; SG: n=63), Beck Depression Inventory (VLCD: n=24; Commercial: n=87; SG: n=63), EI subscales (VLCD: n=22; Commercial: n=84; SG: n=62).
