Summary

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.
