Product Description:

Stice et al. (2026) found that the "Project Health" dissonance-based intervention effectively reduces body fat in young adults, with effects increasing by the six-month follow-up. The study suggests this dual-prevention approach serves as a scalable, effective method for mitigating both obesity and eating disorder risks.
