Summary

This study looked at whether a 4-week mindful eating program could help adults with obesity reduce hedonic hunger—the desire to eat for pleasure, not just fuel. 82 participants either followed a weight loss diet alone or added weekly mindful eating sessions. Researchers measured changes in eating awareness and food cue responsiveness. The goal was to see if mindfulness could help people better recognize hunger and fullness cues and cut down on emotional eating.
