Abstract: Objective: We evaluated the short-term effects of a mindfulness-based program (MBP) on weight loss through lifestyle modification in infertile women who were overweight or obese.Methods: The participants were randomly assigned to 8 consecutive weekly sessions of MBP plus diet or diet alone. Both groups received a customized dietary plan. Body measures were taken and a questionnaire was applied to evaluate dietary habits at baseline and three months later. Results: The study was completed by 28 women in the MBP group and 24 in the control group.Body weight decreased 1.8 kg (2.1%) in the MBP group (p ¼ 0.001, follow-up vs. baseline) and 1.7 kg (1.9%) in the control group (p ¼ 0.035). There was an average reduction of 2.9 cm of waist circumference in the MBP group (p ¼ 0.008) and 0.3 cm in the control group (p ¼ 0.633).There was a significant reduction in the daily energy intake of the women attending the MBP(mean difference 430 Kcal/day, p¼0.010) whereas no significant change was observed in the control group.Conclusion: In the short term, this MBP did not affect weight loss in infertile women, but the MBP intervention contributed to reduce waist circumference, possibly due to a significant decrease in food energy intake.
