Effects of a mindfulness-based intervention on mindful eating, sweets consumption, and fasting glucose levels in obese adults: data from the SHINE randomized controlled trial.

Abstract in brief

• The study explored how a mindfulness-based intervention might influence mindful eating habits, consumption of sweets, and fasting glucose levels in obese adults.
• Participants who received mindfulness training showed increased mindful eating and maintained healthier fasting glucose levels over 12 months, with some evidence suggesting that improved mindful eating may partially mediate these health benefits.
• The findings indicate that fostering mindful eating could be a key factor in the success of mindfulness-based weight loss programs, potentially helping reduce sweet food intake and improve glucose regulation.]
