Contribution & Novelties
The talk contributes to the field by proposing and testing a multidisciplinary intervention that integrates psychological wellbeing and sustainable nutrition for obesity treatment. This is a novel approach, as current guidelines typically focus on lifestyle modifications and medical interventions without addressing sustainability or positive psychological functioning. The study’s findings suggest that such an integrated approach may improve sustainable eating behaviors and psychological outcomes, offering a promising direction for future research and clinical practice.
