This study is testing whether a culturally adapted online dietary and lifestyle program can help Arab adults in Saudi Arabia lose weight and improve their overall health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: an online lifestyle and dietary intervention group or a usual care group receiving standard hospital-based dietary care.
The online program lasts 6 months and includes 12 Arabic-language educational sessions, practical guidance on healthy eating and lifestyle habits, and support from dietitians when needed. The usual care group will receive personalized dietary advice as normally provided in the hospital setting.
Researchers will compare the two groups to see how the program affects body weight, dietary habits, and quality of life over time. The goal of this study is to identify an effective and accessible weight management approach for Arab adults in Saudi Arabia.
