The EASE Study: A Weight-Neutral Pilot Intervention in Germany
The Chair of Nutritional Psychology at JLU Gießen is currently running a study with two group programs to choose from:
- EASE: A newly developed, weight-neutral program focusing on well-being, mindful eating, body image and dealing with weight stigma.
- INA ("ICH nehme ab" / "I'm losing weight"): A certified, weight-oriented program by the German Nutrition Society.
Both programs consist of 12 sessions of 2 hours each over six months (Nov. 2026 – May 2027) and take place in Gießen. Participation is free of charge; you will receive a total of €60 as compensation for completing three questionnaires.
We are currently looking for participants! (Last updated: September 2, 2026)
Adults aged 18 and over with a BMI between 25 and 35 kg/m² who are able to attend the sessions in Gießen can take part. You can find all further information and registration on our project website: www.ease-studie.de
