| Abstract: | ObjectiveTo evaluate whether food planning behaviors mediate the relationship between a reported weight loss attempt and the home food environment (HFE).DesignSecondary data analysis of 4 home visits, included collecting an objective home food inventory of the HFE and self-reported food planning behaviors.ParticipantsThere were 196 participants (mean age, 44.4 years; 83.7% female).Main Outcome MeasuresThe percentage of obesogenic foods and fruits and vegetables (FV).AnalysisFour regression analyses to test mediation.ResultsMeal planning and grocery list use did not explain the relationship between a weight loss attempt and obesogenic foods or FV in the home (P > 0.05). Post hoc analyses that examined participants with a body mass index of >25, >28, and >30 found that a weight loss attempt was associated with fewer obesogenic foods. In contrast, mediation analyses with planning behaviors and associations with FV in the home were nonsignificant (P > 0.05).Conclusions and ImplicationsObesity was more indicative of the HFE than making a weight loss attempt. A weight loss attempt was not associated with food planning behaviors, which may be used for multiple reasons, including organization and time management. Future studies should evaluate individual differences in strategies to create a healthy HFE in the context of a weight loss attempt. |
