studies
Berkowitz et al. (2006) carried out a longitudinal study with a sample of 498 obese adolescents
(age range 12–16 years).
Jain et al (2011) carried out a study on the effectiveness of Orlistat in treating obesity.

Studies
Kristeller, Wolever & Sheets (2013) carried out a study to test the
effectiveness of MB-EAT (Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training)compared to CBT.
O'Reilly et al (2014) carried out a meta-analysis of research done on Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) on treating obesity and eating behaviours.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Characteristics
CBT aims to change how people think about eating as well as their eating behaviour.
The therapy targets those thoughts and beliefs that prevent the patient from losing weight when they have decided to do so.
CBT must focus on the patient’s permission-giving beliefs
that lead to overeating - for example, “It’s okay to eat now because I am upset.”
Studies
Stahre et al. (2007) conducted a randomized trial with a group of 42 obese women in Sweden.
Cooper et al (2010) carried out a long-term study of 150 female participants with obesity who were randomly allocated to either CBT for a period of 44 weeks or a guided self-help program for 24 weeks
