What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of using Socratic questioning as an alternative method for weight loss in adult patients with obesity (aged 18 to 65) in a primary care setting. The main question it aims to answer is: -Is Socratic questioning an effective alternative approach for promoting weight loss in patients with obesity? Researchers will compare participants receiving Socratic questioning during follow-up visits with those receiving regular care to see if the intervention leads to greater weight loss. Participants will: * Complete a baseline questionnaire including 9 demographic questions and the 14-item Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (approx. 5 minutes). * Attend five in-person follow-up visits with their family physician over a 3-month period (every 15 or 30 days), where they will receive brief counseling (10-15 minutes per visit) and have their weight, height, and waist circumference measured. * Complete a 17-question final questionnaire at the end of 3 months (approx. 10-15 minutes). * Be referred to mental health services if necessary, based on initial screening results.
