Summary

This study tested whether showing people a 3D virtual model of their body changes could help them stick to a Mediterranean diet. 133 adults with overweight or obesity followed a diet for 6 months. Some also saw their body's progress in virtual reality. The goal was to see if this approach improves motivation, body image, and health.
