Eating Mindfully to Prevent Weight Regain

The MORE curriculum has been adapted for this intervention to address food intake behaviors and will provide training in mindfulness techniques to increase awareness of, and self-control over, cravings; reappraisal skills to promote emotion regulation and restructure motivations for highly palatable food intake; and savoring pleasant events and emotions to overcome defects in natural reward processing.

The curriculum will be based on the Diabetes Prevention Program's Prevent T2 for Life program, which is an evidence-based national healthful lifestyle maintenance intervention. This program includes training in healthful eating, meal planning, and recipe modification; time and stress management; adapting lifestyle habits for continued success during holidays, vacations, and other special situations; and relapse prevention.
