Ultra-Processed Food Intake

The DISRUPT clinical trial will test two different 2-month programs to help adults with overweight/obesity (N=60) reduce their intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive standard dietary change strategies, cognitive dissonance strategies that engage them in activism against the UPF industry, or both. All participants will attend an introductory educational workshop about UPFs. If they are assigned to receive one or more of these strategies, they will attend weekly group sessions with the relevant intervention content for 7 more weeks. Groups will be held virtually.
