Exploratory randomised controlled trial of a mindfulness-based weight loss intervention for women
Abstract
To explore the efficacy of a mindfulness-based weight loss intervention for women. Sixty-two women (ages 19-64; BMI 22.5-52.1) who were attempting to lose weight were randomised to an intervention or control condition. The former were invited to attend four 2-h workshops, the latter were asked to continue with their normal diets. Data were collected at baseline, 4 and 6 months. BMI, physical activity, mental health. At 6 months intervention participants showed significantly greater increases in physical activity compared to controls (p<.05) but no significant differences in weight loss or mental health. However, when intervention participants who reported 'never' applying the workshop principles at 6 months (n=7) were excluded, results showed both significantly greater increases in physical activity (3.1 sessions per week relative to controls, p<.05) and significantly greater reductions in BMI (0.96 relative to controls, equivalent to 2.32 kg, p<0.5). Reductions in BMI were mediated primarily by reductions in binge eating. Despite its brevity, the intervention was successful at bringing about change. Further refinements should increase its efficacy.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This exploratory RCT tested a brief mindfulness/ACT-based weight-loss intervention in 62 women attempting to lose weight. At 6 months it significantly increased physical activity but did not significantly improve BMI or mental health overall; BMI reductions appeared when participants who never applied the principles were excluded, and these reductions were mediated primarily by reduced binge eating.
Key findings
- In intention-to-treat analysis, there was no significant intervention effect on BMI, F(1, 60)=1.59, p=.21, or mental health difficulties, F(1, 60)=1.29, p=.26, but a significant effect on physical activity, F(1, 60)=6.63, p<.013.
- In the intervention-efficacy analysis excluding non-attenders, intervention participants showed significantly greater increases in physical activity, t(44)=2.46, p=.018, but no significant BMI difference, t(45)=1.40, p=.17.
- Excluding intervention participants who reported “never” applying workshop principles at 6 months (n=7), BMI reductions were significantly greater in the intervention group, t(38)=2.24, p=.031, equivalent to 2.32 kg relative to controls, and physical activity increases were significantly greater, t(38)=2.36, p=.023.
- BMI change was mediated primarily by reductions in binge eating: BMI change correlated with binge-eating change (0.45, p<.05), and hierarchical regression suggested the intervention effect on BMI was largely, but not wholly, brought about by reductions in binge eating.
Methods
- Randomised controlled trial of 62 women aged 19–64 with BMI 22.5–52.1 who were attempting to lose weight; participants were stratified by BMI and medical conditions and allocated to an intervention or control condition.
- Intervention participants were invited to four 2-hour mindfulness/ACT-based workshops over three consecutive weeks plus a follow-up session about three months later; controls were asked to continue their normal diets. Data were collected at baseline, 4 months, and 6 months.
- Main outcomes were BMI, physical activity (BPAT), and mental health (GHQ-12); hypothesised mediators included emotional/external eating (DEBQ), emotional eating (EEQ), binge eating (BES), acceptance/action (AAQ-II), and dietary adherence. Analyses included intention-to-treat MANOVA, follow-up tests, efficacy analyses excluding non-attenders, correlations, and hierarchical regression for mediation.
Limitations
- The paper states it was an exploratory trial; future evaluations should include a standard rather than no-treatment control, extend beyond 6 months, and account for clustering effects because the intervention was delivered in groups.
- The paper also states the intervention and control groups were not well-matched for physical activity and binge eating at baseline, so results for these variables need replication.
- Evident from the text: the sample was small (62 randomised; efficacy analyses used 23 intervention and 24 controls; moderator analysis used 16 intervention and 24 controls), and several mediator/moderator measures relied on self-report.

Statistics recomputed
Every reported test result, recomputed from its test statistic and degrees of freedom. A result shows as not adding up only once an independent check has confirmed it.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
