PORTO, Andressa Paiva et al. Integrated CBT and Inhibitory Control Training Intervention: Effects on Eating Behavior and Obesity. Rev. bras.ter. cogn. [online]. 2025, vol.21, e20250551.  Epub 09-Jan-2026. ISSN 1808-5687.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1808-5687.20250551.

Obesity and overweight represent a growing public health problem. Factors such as difficulties in emotional regulation and certain executive functions (EFs) influence the eating patterns adopted by this population. Given this context, the present study compared two interventions: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) versus CBT with inhibitory control training (ICT, adapted from the Go/No-Go task) in a group of 18 overweight and obese individuals (mean age 36.7 ± 7.8 SD). The results proved changes in eating behavior, emotional regulation, Body Mass Index (BMI), and impulsivity (future planning) among participants. However, the combined intervention did not prove superior to the group that only received CBT, the outcomes were similar in both groups. This investigation suggests that although ICT combined with CBT demonstrates feasibility and preliminary evidence of benefits for emotional regulation and eating behaviors, it does not appear to offer any additional advantages over CBT for this population.
