Description

Objective: To qualitatively analyze the eating behavior of male Japanese workers who successfully lost weight through a health guidance program.<br>Methods: Male Japanese workers from 5 corporate health insurance societies in 5 prefectures (Tochigi, Saitama, Wakayama, and Osaka) who had lost ≥4% of their body weight while attending a 6-month health guidance program were invited to participate the study. The thirty minutes in-depth interviews which were based on the interview-guide were conducted to 27 participants who agreed to participate. Twenty-six workers who had lost ≥4% of their total weight at the time of the 6-month evaluation were examined in this study. The transcripts were analyzed using grounded theory, and concepts from participant responses related to eating behavior and behavioral strategies were extracted and categorized.<br>Results: Seven categories and 31 subcategories of eating behavior, and 9 categories and 17 subcategories of behavioral strategies were extracted from the transcripts. Given the observed variability in eating behavior, our data suggest most of the participants met their weight-loss goals through behavioral strategies.<br>Conclusions: Male Japanese workers who successfully lost weight in the program used behavioral strategies that were practical, feasible, and typical behaviors for workers.
