Article Synopsis
- Metabolic disturbances often accompany serious mental illness (SMI), requiring effective weight management strategies such as group education and peer support.
- This study focused on 14 participants from a mental health clinic who struggled to lose and maintain a 5% weight loss and assessed the impact of group peer support on various health metrics over a year.
- Key findings included significant improvements in participants' energy levels and general health perception after three months, while an inverse relationship was observed between confidence/conviction and sugar intake throughout the study.
