Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of a nutritional intervention based on Mindful Eating, with standard dietary treatment, in changing the eating behavior of overweight individuals. The main questions to answer are:

* What is the effect of the intervention on the domains of eating behavior (emotional eating, cognitive restriction, and lack of food control - assessed by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire R21)? ,
* Assess the effect of the intervention on weight and BMI.
* Evaluate the relationship between eating behavior domains before and after the intervention.

Participants in the intervention group will participate in eight sessions of a virtual therapeutic group, with up to fifteen individuals, every fifteen days, in which the theme of Mindful Eating and eating behavior will be worked. Participants will be encouraged to undertake the following:

* self-knowledge exercises between one session and another.
* mindfulness meditations daily. No dietary plan will be provided.

The researchers will compare the results with a control group, which will receive eight individual, fortnightly, and virtual consultations of conventional dietary treatment, which will provide:

* dietary plan for weight reduction, according to current guidelines.
* six food and nutrition education sessions based on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

A group of 30 people will participate in 8 fortnightly virtual group sessions for 4 months, where the subject of Mindful Eating will be addressed. Participants will be encouraged to share their eating experiences, reflect and discuss the above, and engage in formal and non-formal mindfulness eating practices (meditation, eating slowly, observing thoughts, and being present at meal times) between sessions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mindful Eating

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Nutritional advice through expository content, group discussion, and exchange of experiences on self-knowledge, food awareness, and relationship with food and the body.

Control

A group of 30 people will have 8 fortnightly, virtual, and individual consultations for 4 months. They will receive a hypocaloric diet (reduction of approximately 500kcal per day in total energy expenditure) and food and nutrition education. The food plan will be monitored in each meeting, and a theme of food and nutrition education will be worked on, based on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population, through expository content. A virtual folder of all subjects taught will be provided.
