Protocol #1:The goals of this study was to examine whether increased weight loss in obese
adolescent is induced when the weight loss medication sibutramine is added to a family-based,
behavioral weight control program.
Protocol #2: This study aims to improve the behavioral treatment of obesity during
adolescence. A behavioral program using regular foods will be compared to a behavioral
program using a structured meal plan (a portion-controlled approach with liquid-meal
replacements [nutritional supplements]). This structured approach may be better for the
promotion of weight loss compared to a diet of regular foods.
