SECONDARY, OBESE

‘Mindful eating’ added to treatment as usual (TAU) is more effective than TAU alone for reducing the emotional eating pattern of obese and overweight patients in primary care (PC) settings.The programme produced improvements in secondary outcomes such as external eating, the severity of bulimic symptoms, the frequency of binge episodes, and some mindfulness and self‐compassion facets.The body mass index (BMI) and other physiological variables were not significantly reduced by the ‘Mindful eating’ programme; future studies should try to overcome some methodological shortcomings of the present study.
Héctor Morillo‐Sarto and Yolanda López‐del‐Hoyo authors should be considered co‐first authors.
