Studies have shown that obesity is associated with decreased executive function. Impaired executive functions lead to poor self‐regulation, which in turn may result in persistence of unhealthy behaviors, including eating behaviors, throughout life. Increasing self‐regulation in childhood and adolescence has positive effects on creating healthy behaviors such as reducing unnecessary eating and changing unhealthy eating habits. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate an intervention package based on cognitive self‐regulation training in changing eating behaviors and reducing obesity in children and adolescents.
