Summary
This study tests a new program that combines mindful eating with motivational interviewing to help people with overweight reduce binge eating. One hundred participants will either receive the full program (counseling plus daily meditation) or just daily meditation. The main goal is to see if the program is acceptable and practical, not yet whether it works for weight loss.
