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:
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.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | No Intervention | 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 | Experimental | 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. |

| Mindful eating training | Behavioral | The mindful eating training was delivered once a week for 4 weeks, with each session lasting 50-60 minutes. Weekly homework assignments were given to reinforce the training and increase retention. During the intervention period, the control group continued their weight loss diet program, which had been planned with a dietitian prior to the study. The mindful eating training sessions focused on increasing awareness of hunger and satiety cues, identifying emotional triggers for eating, and promoting mindful food consumption practices. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in mindful eating questionnaire scores from baseline to the end of the study | 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. | From enrollment to the eight weeks after the end of the intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in power of food scale score from baseline to the end of the study | Hedonic hunger assessed using the validated Turkish version of the Power of Food Scale (PFS) to evaluate participants' responsiveness to food cues and changes in hedonic hunger over the study period. The scale consists of 15 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 hedonic hunger. |
