        abstract = {This study evaluates the impact of a nutrition education intervention on the dietary habits, knowledge, attitudes, and health-related practices of overweight and obese individuals. Participants were divided into control and experimental groups, with each group assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The results revealed that the experimental groups showed significant improvements in the frequency of vegetable and fruit consumption. The intervention also led to substantial gains in health-related knowledge, with experimental participants demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of nutrition, hygiene, and preventive health measures. Attitudes toward regular exercise, health check-ups, and maintaining a healthy environment also saw significant positive shifts in the experimental groups. In contrast, the control groups showed only marginal improvements, underscoring the effectiveness of the targeted nutrition education. Overall, the study highlights the significant benefits of nutrition education in promoting healthier lifestyle choices, particularly in managing obesity, and emphasizes the need for scaling and refining such interventions for broader impact.},
