Summary

This study tests a smartphone app that combines acceptance and commitment therapy, a pedometer, and health education to help overweight or obese adults reduce weight-related shame and lose weight. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to use the app or receive standard health education. Researchers will measure changes in body weight, self-stigma, eating habits, physical activity, and quality of life over three months.
