New study: therapy and app may curb emotional eating in overweight adults

This study looks at whether a type of talk therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), combined with a mobile app, can help overweight people who eat in response to emotions like stress or sadness. About 78 adults will be split into groups: some get group therapy, some get therapy plus the app, and others are a control group. The goal is to see if these tools improve emotional eating, emotion regulation, and psychological flexibility over six weeks.
