Summary

This pilot study tests whether an 8-week program combining mindful eating and yoga is practical and well-liked by adults with overweight or obesity. Researchers will check if participants stick with the program and if it leads to better mindfulness, healthier eating, more physical activity, and positive changes in body composition and blood markers. The study compares the program group to a waitlist group and involves 60 Northeastern University affiliates.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: mindful eating and yoga program
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a low-cost, non-drug approach to help people with obesity improve eating habits and physical activity.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on feasibility, not weight loss, and the program requires a time commitment that some may find hard to maintain.
