Changing Eating Behavior Using Cognitive Training
Changing Eating Behavior Using Cognitive Training
Obesity is a global health problem. New and more efficient interventions are needed to
 overcome this disease. This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of
 changing eating behavior using cognitive training. These types of interventions have the role
 of creating new routines (unconsciously processed), in terms of healthy eating behaviors.
This is a randomized clinical trial with three groups. Participants will be found through
 social media announcements. The active interventions of cognitive training will be delivered
 at two groups: one group will receive through hypnosis and the other will receive through
 food inhibition training (a GO NO GO task). The control group will receive a simple GO NO GO
 task as an active placebo. The trial will be exclusively online and it consists of five
 sessions. Participants will complete their tasks on four Zoom sessions. Cognitive, emotional
 and behavioral data will be taken at four times: before the intervention starts, in the
 middle (after two sessions), at the end and at two follow up moments: one month and six
 months after the trial ends.
