Summary
This study tests a custom mouthpiece called Fuzzle that you wear during the day to help with weight loss. About 78 adults with obesity will use the device plus get diet advice, and their weight loss will be compared to those who only get advice. The goal is to see if the device helps people lose more weight over 16 weeks.
