      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Stratified randomization will be done in blocks with blocks of 4, where the strata are obesity and overweight. The order of assigning people to groups will be determined based on the list generated by "Random Allocation" software, and people will be assigned to one of two intervention or control groups based on this list. The main interventionist is not aware of the order created by this list, and after the decision to enter a person into the study, the list is checked by another researcher, who then informs the main researcher of the individual's group.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Overweight and obesity.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: will receive standard treatment, which includes a normal caloric restriction diet tailored to the individual, which is determined by a nutritionist based on factors such as the individual's nutritional status, degree of overweight and obesity, and underlying diseases. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In addition to the standard treatment, will receive a 14-day course including audio files of maximum 10-15 minutes including training related to mindfulness and mindful eating. Participants will be asked to listen to these files daily and apply the skills taught throughout the day. The educational topics will include a concept section and a mindful eating section. Topics in the concepts section include Mindfulness-introduction, Present moment awareness, Acceptance and non-judgment, Body scan, Decentralization, Beginner's mind, Gratitude and Self-acceptance. Topics in the Mindful Eating section include Mindful Eating-Introduction, Mindful snack, Connection to Food, Types of Hunger, Satiety Cues, and Coping with Food Cravings.</i_freetext>
