Summary

This study tests a mobile app called FoodTraining that trains people to resist food cues. About 113 adults with obesity, bulimia, or binge-eating disorder will use the app for 4 weeks alongside their usual treatment. Researchers will measure changes in emotional eating and uncontrolled eating at 4 and 8 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: FoodTraining mobile app (inhibitory control training)
What this could lead to: If it works, this app could help people with eating disorders better resist food cravings and improve their eating habits.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study testing feasibility, not a proven treatment. The app is added to standard care, so any benefit may be modest.
