    Abstract:
    A twelve-week weight-reducing program for students was conducted at the University of Kentucky. The program, which was developed and directed by graduate students in nutrition, utilized a combination of behavior therapy and diet therapy. Initiated in the spring of 1975, the program has been continued in the 1975-76 year. All students completing the program achieved weight reduction. Their weight losses averaged 2/3 lb. a week. The dropout rate for the program was 40 per cent. One-third of the participants completing the program reached their weight-reduction goals. These results suggest that further attempts should be made to improve weight-reducing suitable for college students.
