Both groups received routine recommendations, which included a daily caloric restriction of 500 kcal and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 30 minutes, five days a week.Motivational interviewing was administered to the intervention group through individual sessions, held once every two weeks, for a total of four sessions, each lasting 15 minutes. The interviews were conducted in the Education Room of the Saltuklu Family Health Center.

All participants were followed for a period of three months.
