A randomized controlled trial of online acceptance and commitment therapy to improve diet and physical activity among adults who are overweight/obese
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates an 8-week online guided self-help program integrating acceptance and commitment therapy with nutrition education for adults who are overweight or obese. The study compares this intervention against a waitlist control, reporting significant improvements in healthy eating index, weight, mental health, and weight self-stigma at post-treatment. While benefits were maintained for most outcomes at follow-up, effects on the primary dietary outcome and physical activity were limited or unclear.
