Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a structured motivational interviewing program based on the Five-Step (5A) model works to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in individuals at high risk of obesity. It will also learn about the effects on anthropometric measurements and physical activity levels. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does this structured program promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in individuals at high risk of obesity? * To what extent does it increase participants' intrinsic motivation and readiness for behavioral change? Participants will: * Attend structured interview sessions throughout the designated process * Visit the clinic at regular intervals for follow-up and evaluations * Record their lifestyle changes, physical activity levels, and experiences throughout the process

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) | Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period | Changes in body mass index measured in kg/m² from baseline to the end of the intervention period. |
| Change in Body Weight | Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period | Changes in body weight measured in kilograms (kg) from baseline to the end of the intervention period. |
| Change in Waist Circumference | Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period | Changes in waist circumference measured in centimeters (cm) from baseline to the end of the intervention period. |
| University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) Scale Score | Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period | Changes in readiness score measured by the 32-item University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) scale. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, where higher scores indicate greater readiness for change. |
Secondary
