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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mindful eating and motivational interviewing counseling plus digital meditation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a practical, low-cost program to help people reduce binge eating and improve eating habits.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. The results may not apply to everyone, and the intervention may not reduce binge eating significantly.
