About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of a Mindfulness Based Diet Program Given to Obese Individuals on Body Weight and Eating Behaviours

Meditation interventions, including mindfulness-based approaches, can be effective in reducing psychological stress . Mindfulness meditation, which cultivates awareness of present-moment experience with a nonjudging attitude, is theorized to promote adaptive self-regulation,which is thought to be key to maintaining long-term eating habits and appetite regulation.In the light of this information, in this study, it is aimed to observe the effect of mindfulness approach on body weight and eating behaviours.

Read the detailed description

The use of minfulness based programs for body weight control and stress management is increasing. One of the main reasons for this situation is that individuals care more about the diet and body weidght as a result of the increase in health concerns and stress. In addition, such cognitive support programs in the diet process provide a more comfortable and stress-free continuation of the diet. Based on the above-mentioned information; in this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness based diet intervention on weight loss and eating behaviuors.

Individuals who meet the research criteria will randomize according to their file numbers (with the ramdomizer program) and divide into 2 groups: mindfulness group (15) and control group . Food consumption records, anthropometric measurements and eating behaviours scale of all individuals will record at the beginning and end of the study. In order to prevent interaction between individuals, all diet programs will prepare at different times and individually.
