Health-At-Every-Size (HAES)

"1. HAES group: 14 weekly sessions.~ Focus on general well-being and positive ways of having a healthy and satisfying lifestyle. Supported by lectures, guided self-reflection, group discussions, as well as practical exercises, this intervention aims at enhancing awareness and knowledge about biological, psychological, and sociocultural aspects of body weight.~2. SS group: 14 weekly sessions.~The objective is to reproduce a structural social support provided by the group itself. Each participant offers their support to each other. Each theme discussed in the HAES group is repeated in the SS group but the health professionals in charge of the group (dietitian \& psychologist) are not counselors (as in HAES group) but only facilitators.~Outcome measures: For all women under study."
