Brief summary

This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of a nutritional intervention based on Mindful Eating, with standard dietary treatment, in changing the eating behavior of overweight individuals.

Detailed description

This clinical trial aims to compare the effect of a nutritional intervention based on Mindful Eating, with standard dietary treatment, in changing the eating behavior of overweight individuals. The main questions to answer are: * What is the effect of the intervention on the domains of eating behavior (emotional eating, cognitive restriction, and lack of food control - assessed by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire R21)? , * Assess the effect of the intervention on weight and BMI. * Evaluate the relationship between eating behavior domains before and after the intervention. Participants in the intervention group will participate in eight sessions of a virtual therapeutic group, with up to fifteen individuals, every fifteen days, in which the theme of Mindful Eating and eating behavior will be worked. Participants will be encouraged to undertake the following: * self-knowledge exercises between one session and another. * mindfulness meditations daily. No dietary plan will be provided. The researchers will compare the results with a control group, which will receive eight individual, fortnightly, and virtual consultations of conventional dietary treatment, which will provide: * dietary plan for weight reduction, according to current guidelines. * six food and nutrition education sessions based on the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population.
