Overview
Brief Summary
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a mindfulness-based intervention to prevent weight regain in weight-reduced adults.
Detailed Description
Specific Aim 1: Determine the effect of MORE on weight loss maintenance. Hypothesis: MORE will result in less weight regain compared to CON after the 8-week intervention, and benefits will be sustained after 6-month of follow-up. Specific Aim 2: Determine the effect of MORE on reward-related behavioral processes (e.g., disinhibition, restraint, hedonic hunger). Hypothesis: MORE group will demonstrate changes in eating behaviors associated with preventing weight regain compared to CON immediately after MORE and after 6-months of follow-up.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in Body Weight
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 month follow up
Body weight (kg) measured using a calibrated digital scale at three time points: baseline and 6 month follow up. Outcome measure was calculated by subtracting baseline weight from 6 month weigh. Lower value indicates greater weight loss.
Secondary Outcomes
- Dietary Restraint(6 month follow up)
- Ways of Savoring Checklist (WOSC).(6-month follow-up)
- Dietary Disinhibition(6 month follow-up)
- Interoceptive Awareness(6 month follow up)
- Hedonic Hunger(6 months)
