Clinical Trial Description

The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the effects and the effectiveness, both post-treatment and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups, of a group intervention inspired by the principles of Well-Being Therapy (WBT), combined with a nutritional education, compared to treatment as usual (TAU), namely a Basic Nutritional Intervention (BNI) in a group setting, in terms of weight loss. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects and effectiveness of this intervention, both post-treatment and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups, compared to BNI, in promoting healthy and sustainable eating behaviors and an optimal psychological functioning. This includes the promotion of balanced psychological well-being levels and functional eating styles, and the reduction of both psychological distress and dysfunctional justification cognitive mechanisms use. After being informed about the study and its potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. Both groups will participate in five weekly online group sessions of two hours each. ;
