Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a digitally delivered, mindfulness-based nutrition group program 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 online group program be successfully delivered to adults receiving GLP-1 treatment? Do participants find the program useful, acceptable, and easy to engage with? Are participants willing to attend the online sessions, complete the home exercises, and complete the study questionnaires?

Researchers will compare participants who receive the online mindfulness-based nutrition group program in addition to usual care with participants who receive usual care alone.

Participants in the intervention group will take part in a 16-week online program consisting of nine live group sessions delivered via videoconference. They will practice mindful eating, mindfulness exercises, reflective journaling, and peer discussion. All participants will complete online questionnaires and body measurements at baseline, after 16 weeks, and 12 months after the start of the study.

This study does not evaluate a new drug or medical device. The study team will not make decisions regarding participants' GLP-1 medication. All medication management remains part of routine medical care.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Online Group Intervention on Mindful Eating

The intervention group will participate in a 16-week online 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 messages.
