Key Points

This trial investigates the effectiveness of the Mind-Eat program compared to a usual treatment based on intuitive eating principles in adults with overweight or obesity.
Randomized controlled trial with 66 adults aged 18-65.
Participants completed the Mind-Eat program with eight weekly sessions plus a follow-up session.
Primary outcome assessed was mindful eating using the Mind-Eat Scale. Assessments were made at baseline, week 8, and week 12.
Mind-Eat group showed significant improvements in mindful eating at week 8 (β = −0.40, p = .002, d = −1.32) and week 12 (β = −0.31, p = .02, d = −1.02).
Greater reductions in emotional eating and improvements in intuitive eating and trait mindfulness were observed in the Mind-Eat group compared to treatment as usual.
No significant differences were found in other outcomes like weight, anxiety, depression, or physical activity.
