Summary
This pilot study tests whether a 12-week program focused on the pleasure of eating can help higher-weight adults eat more fruits and vegetables. 88 participants will be randomly assigned to either the pleasure-focused program or no intervention. The study aims to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, not whether it causes weight loss.
