Summary

This study tests a 6-month program for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher that aims to improve mental, social, and physical health without targeting weight loss. It uses intuitive eating and therapy techniques to help people eat based on internal cues and manage body image concerns. The study includes 56 participants in Denmark and will check if the program is feasible and acceptable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Weight-neutral health intervention (behavioural: intuitive eating and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new way to improve quality of life and mental health for people with obesity without focusing on weight loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 56 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioural and may not work for everyone.
