Summary
This study tested whether adding mindful eating training to a low-carb diet education helps people with type 2 diabetes follow the diet better. About 125 adults were randomly assigned to get either diet education alone or diet education plus mindful eating sessions. The main goal was to see if the mindful eating group had better diet adherence, measured by ketone levels and carbohydrate intake.
