A Self-compassion Focused Intervention for Internalized Weight Bias and Weight Loss

RECRUITING

I'm interested ...!!

The goal of clinical trial is to test a novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises in overweight adults with moderate to high levels of internalized weight bias. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1) Can participants lose significant weight loss and 2) significantly reduce internalized weight bias. Participants will take part in a 12 week novel weight loss approach combining a standard weight loss and internalized weight bias intervention with self-compassion exercises using videoconferencing software.
