What this Trial Is About
Obesity is a growing public health problem in Sweden, but access to care varies depending on geographical location. Eatit´s multimodal digitally dietitian-supported lifestyle intervention offers an accessible treatment alternative, but its clinical effects in practice need to be documented. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of Eatit´s multimodal digitally dietitian-supported lifestyle intervention for weight loss in adults with obesity. The main question is: \- Does body weight change after six months of using the program? Secondary questions are: * Does waist size change after six months of using the program? * Do self-rated eating habits improve after six months of using the program? * Does self-rated health improve after six months of using the program? Participants will use the Eatit program for six months and answer questions about their weight, waist size, eating habits and health. The program integrates behavior change techniques with individualized nutrition counseling provided by licensed dietitians. * During the first three months, participants use Eatit's core program through the app, with weekly support by a dietitian via video calls and text messages. * The core program consists of a weekly reading section combined with a related homework assignment. * After completing the core program, participants continue with monthly video sessions with a dietitian, focusing on the skills that were most helpful during the initial phase or on areas such as receiving support to initiate physical activity. * Weight and waist size are recorded in the app every week. * Questionnaires on eating habits and health are completed at baseline, after three months, and after six months.
