- Researchers are studying if combining a diet and exercise program with therapy for mental well-being can help people lose weight better than just the diet and exercise alone.
- They included 83 people who are overweight, split into two groups: one did the diet and exercise program only, and the other did that plus therapy for four weeks.
- Both groups lost weight, but the group that did therapy also felt better emotionally and had improved self-confidence, showing that therapy might help in ways other than just weight loss.
Article Synopsis
- There was a study to see how feeling good mentally (psychological well-being) affects weight loss in people who are trying to lose weight.
- Out of 96 participants, about 30.5% successfully lost 5% of their body weight by the end of a lifestyle program.
- The study found that if someone felt too much autonomy (independence) or discomfort, they were less likely to lose weight, suggesting that mental health support might help in weight loss programs.

This study examined the differences in affect-related psychological variables among BMI classes. A total of 134 adults seeking treatment for obesity and 124 controls completed a set of questionnaires to assess: trait emotional intelligence, emotion regulation strategies, anxiety, depression, binge eating behaviors and happiness.
