NCT ID NCT07112131
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an 8-week online nutrition education program, based on non-diet principles like intuitive eating and body acceptance, can improve eating behaviors, body image, and psychological well-being in women aged 19-35 with a normal BMI. Participants are randomly assigned to either the program or a control group with no intervention. The study compares changes in questionnaires about eating behavior, body appreciation, self-esteem, and well-being to see if the program offers benefits beyond traditional dieting.
