Self-compassion and Nutrition (SCAN) Study

Comparison of Two Approaches for Improving Long-term Weight Loss Among Individuals With Severe Obesity

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of two approaches for improving long-term weight loss success among individuals with severe obesity. All participants will receive a 15-week, standard behavioral weight loss program followed by either 8 weeks of a mindfulness self-compassion intervention or 8 weeks of a nutrition and cooking education intervention (determined via randomization procedures). Assessments of weight, physical activity, and other weight-related and psychosocial factors will occur at baseline, 4 months, 6 months, and 9 months.
