Health and Wellness in Obesity
Health and Wellness in Obesity
The present study aims to explore the effects of a novel multidisciplinary
 non-pharmacological intervention designed to improve health parameters and well-being in
 overweight and obese women. The proposed program is health- and quality of life-oriented,
 without a focus on weight loss, following the philosophical principles from "Health at Every
 Size", and may provide an alternative mode of intervention to the traditional one, which is
 focused on the concept of "weight loss at any cost". To evaluate the efficacy of the
 intervention, a mixed-method design combining both qualitative and quantitative assessments
 will be applied.
