Craving and Lifestyle Management through Mindfulness(CALMM+)

MBSR is a program that provides systematic training in mindfulness meditation and gentle yoga as a self-regulation approach to reduce stress and improve medical and psychological symptoms. In this randomized controlled pilot study, we aim to test a 16-week intervention that further integrates diet and exercise into the CALMM program (CALMM+). This novel program, which includes elements drawn from MBSR, will be actively compared with the conventional diet and exercise group(TLC). Both groups will receive about 7 hours of in-class and out-of-class activities per week. The activities includes exercise, keeping dietary records, and stress reduction practices (if they are assigned to the intervention group).
