Summary

This study tests a 6-month online weight loss program designed for Arab adults in Saudi Arabia. Participants are randomly assigned to either the online program or standard hospital-based dietary care. The online program includes 12 Arabic educational sessions and dietitian support. Researchers will compare weight loss, eating habits, and quality of life between the two groups.
