Longitudinal Weight Gain and Related Risk Behaviors during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Adults in the US

Surabhi Bhutani et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 lockdown, weight management was disrupted among many Americans, leading to weight gain and increased unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Around 40% of participants gained 1-4 lbs or >5 lbs of body weight during the peak-lockdown, while 18.2% lost weight. Weight-gainers engaged in riskier dietary behaviors, were less active, and reported high stress and difficulty controlling cravings.

Changes in Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Lifestyle Behaviors Following COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place: A Retrospective Study

Walter Sobba et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationships between diet, weight change, and lifestyle changes during regional shelter-in-place orders through the lens of food processing levels, finding that increased snacking is positively associated with a change in the percent of calories derived from ultra-processed food and weight gain, and negatively associated with the share of minimally processed food calories consumed. These findings suggest that interventions designed around decreased snacking may positively impact diet and weight management.
