简要总结
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of mindful eating training on mindful eating behaviors and hedonic hunger levels in adults with obesity.
The primary research questions are as follows:
- Does mindful eating training combined with a weight loss diet improve mindful eating behaviors?
- Does mindful eating training combined with a weight loss diet reduce hedonic hunger levels?
- Does mindful eating training combined with a weight loss diet lead to changes in anthropometric measurements?
Researchers compared participants receiving a weight loss diet alone (control group) with those receiving mindful eating training in addition to a weight loss diet (intervention group) to determine differences in mindful eating behaviors, hedonic hunger scores, and anthropometric measurements.
Participants who are already enrolled in a weight loss diet program was invited to participate in a mindful eating training program.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
Participants in the control group were adults with obesity who were already enrolled in a structured weight loss diet program. They continued their diet as planned without receiving mindful eating training. Outcome measures, including mindful eating scores, hedonic hunger, and anthropometric measurements, assessed at baseline and at the end of the study period.
Intervention
Participants in the intervention group were adults with obesity who were already enrolled in a structured weight loss diet program. In addition to continuing their diet, they participated in a structured mindful eating training program. The training focused on awareness of hunger and satiety cues, recognition of emotional and hedonic triggers for eating, and mindful food consumption practices. Outcome measures, including mindful eating scores, hedonic hunger, and anthropometric measurements, assessed at baseline and at the end of the study period.
干预措施: Mindful eating training (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in mindful eating questionnaire scores from baseline to the end of the study
时间窗: From enrollment to the eight weeks after the end of the intervention
Mindful eating assessed using the validated Turkish version of the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) to evaluate changes in participants' eating awareness and eating behaviors during the study period. The scale consists of 30 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Total and subscale scores are calculated as the mean of the item scores. The total score ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater levels of mindful eating.
次要结局
- Change in power of food scale score from baseline to the end of the study(From enrollment to eight weeks after the end of the intervention)
- Change in body weight from baseline to the end of the study(From enrollment to eight weeks after the end of the intervention)
- Changes in waist circumference from baseline to the end of the study(From enrollment to eight weeks after the end of the intervention)
- Change in hip circumference from baseline to the end of the study(From enrollment to eight weeks after the end of the intervention)
- Change in body mass index from baseline to the end of the study(From enrollment to eight weeks after the end of the intervention)
