Smith, Jaclynn Kehaulani | A feasibility trial to determine the effect of mindfulness on weight-loss maintenance | PURPOSE: Over 70% of all adults in the U.S. have overweight and obesity. Weight loss is often recommended to improve overall health and risk of disease. However, weight regain following intentional weight loss is common and diminishes initial improvements. Therefore, interventions aimed at attenuati... | | 2023 |
