Summary
This study tests whether a 16-week online mindfulness-based nutrition program is feasible and acceptable for adults with obesity who are taking GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. Participants in the intervention group attend nine live video sessions on mindful eating, practice daily exercises, journal, and discuss with peers. The study aims to see if people find the program useful and engaging, and whether it can support healthier eating behaviors alongside standard medical care.
