What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether a brief online psychological program called COR can be delivered in a feasible and acceptable way for adults who experience recurrent binge eating.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* Is the COR program acceptable to participants, in terms of satisfaction, adherence, and dropout rates?
* Is the COR program feasible to deliver online, including recruitment, retention, and completion of sessions and questionnaires?
* Do participants show preliminary changes over time in binge eating-related distress and emotional well-being?
Participants in this study are adults who experience recurrent episodes of binge eating. They will take part in an individual online intervention that includes eight weekly sessions, a brief pre-session, and a follow-up session one month after the end of treatment.
During the study, participants wi

Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults aged 18 years or older.
* Overweight or obesity, based on self-report.
* At least three binge-eating episodes in the past 30 days, associated with psychological distress.
* The presence of chronic medical conditions commonly associated with overweight or obesity (e.g., hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or polycystic ovary syndrome) is permitted, provided that such conditions are medically stable.
* If present, chronic medical conditions must be medically stable, defined as:
* stable medical treatment for at least 12 weeks,
* no recent changes in medication,
* no acute clinical decompensation or recent major cardiovascular events,
* at least one related medical follow-up visit in the past 12 months.
* If present, psychopharmacological treatment must be stable, defined as no changes in medication type or dosage during the 12 weeks prior to enrollment.
* Daily access to the internet and to a computer or smartphone that allows participation in online sessions and assessments.

* Pregnancy or breastfeeding at the time of the initial assessment.
* History of bariatric surgery.

* Current substance use pattern that, due to its severity or functional impact, requires specialized clinical treatment.
* Ongoing psychological and/or nutritional treatment at the time of enrollment, defined as regular sessions or an active treatment plan, regardless of treatment focus or therapeutic approach.
* Presence of active or medically unstable conditions, characterized by clinically significant symptoms, lack of medical follow-up, or recent changes in medication, that could interfere with participation in the intervention or substantially affect eating behavior or mood.
* Significant functional impairment that, in the clinical judgment of the research team, would limit the participant's ability to engage safely and consistently in the intervention.
