Nutritional Counseling Based on Mindful Eating for Overweight and Obesity
Study Overview
This study looked at how Mindful Eating counseling affects the eating habits of people with overweight and obesity.
Study Details
- Duration: 16 weeks
- Participants: 61 volunteers aged 18 or older with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²
- Groups: Participants were divided into two groups: an online group intervention (IG) and individual online nutritional counseling (TAU).
- Sessions: Eight biweekly sessions were held.
- Assessment: Eating behavior was measured using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-21).
Key Findings
At the start, emotional eating was the most common issue in both groups. By the end:
- All eating behavior scores decreased.
- The TAU group showed an increase in cognitive restraint (CR).
- There was a significant difference in CR between the two groups.
Conclusion
Mindful Eating can help manage cognitive restraint, which is important for long-term weight management. More details can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Importance of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are essential for creating safe and effective treatments. We need to integrate their findings into everyday medical practice.
