Resumen
Obesity is a very prevalent pathology and has become one of the most important public health challenges of the 21st century, being associated with a significantly increased risk of a variety of morbidities and mortality, including type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and some types of Cancer. In the search for predictive factors for this pathology and treatments based mainly on changes in diet and lifestyle, it has been shown that these have short-term effects, due to the fact that there is little approach and intervention in the cognitive processes involved, the which can lead to excess food intake (Mercado, Werthmann, Campbell, & Schmidt, 2020). A set of new cognitive behavioral therapies have emerged that emphasize mindfulness, acceptance, the therapeutic relationship, values, spirituality, meditation, focusing on the present moment; which have shown promising results for the treatment of obesity (Hayes, Follette, Linehan, 2004). In this work, we started from the question: What is the effectiveness of psychological intervention on eating behaviors related to obesity? The main objective being to carry out early intervention in cases of overweight and obesity, through clinical follow-up with a psychological approach. For the methodology of the project, the following were taken into account as fundamental lines of action: the promotion and maintenance of health, and the prevention and treatment of disease (Seoane, Garzón, 2005). Consequently, it will be possible to intervene with the pertinent guidelines at the moment of detecting obesity and overweight, taking into account and recognizing the interplay of biological and genetic factors that favor its development, in turn influenced by cognitive factors, emotional reactions, characteristics of personality, behavioral elements and environmental stimuli that can be reinforced by culture.
