Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a mindfulness-based nutrition group program is feasible and acceptable for adults with obesity who are taking GLP-1 receptor agonist medication and receiving usual medical care, including dietetic counselling.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Can this group program be successfully carried out with adults receiving GLP-1 treatment? Do participants find the program useful, acceptable, and manageable? Are participants willing to attend the sessions, complete the home exercises, and fill in the study questionnaires?

Researchers will compare participants who receive the mindfulness-based nutrition group program plus usual care with participants who receive usual care only.

Participants in the group program will take part in a 16-week intervention with nine group sessions. They will practice mindful eating, mindfulness exercises, journaling, and peer exchange. All participants will complete questionnaires and body measurements at the start of the study, after 16 weeks, and 12 months after the start of the study.

The study does not test a new drug or device. The study team will not make decisions about participants' GLP-1 medication. All medication decisions remain part of usual medical care.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-based nutritional group therapy (MBNGT)

The intervention group will participate in a 16-week MBNT intervention with nine group sessions, led by a certified nutritionist and lecturer in nutrition psychology with expertise in obesity counseling and mindfulness-based interventions. The first four sessions will be held weekly. Thereafter, the intervals between sessions will be extended as the intervention incorporates additional components such as daily mindfulness exercises, journaling, and tandem peer support. Specifically, from session 4 onward, tandem exchange groups will be implemented and in group session 6, the digital application "insight timer" will be introduced. The app includes guided meditations and exercises designed to enhance emotional awareness and support self-regulation in participants' daily lives. Each group therapy session will include theoretical input, guided practices in meditation and mindful eating, take-home assignments, and journaling activities aimed
