Control
The experimental group will: i) receive three pre-treatment group sessions (Motivational Interviewing, nutrition and physical exercise); ii) receive an individualized diet and physical exercise planning for 6 weeks; iii) participate in 4 weekly group neurocognitive intervention sessions, that will last about 60-90 minutes each. Two neurocognitive sessions are intended to train impulsivity, and the other two neurocognitive sessions will focus on reflexive training. Participants will practice the content of each session daily at home.
The active control group will: i) receive three pre-treatment group sessions (Motivational Interviewing, nutrition and physical exercise); ii) receive an individualized diet and physical exercise planning for 6 weeks; iii) participate in 4 weekly group sessions of sham intervention that mimic the neurocognitive sessions of the experimental group. Two neurocognitive sessions are intended to train impulsivity, and the other two neurocognitive sessions will focus on reflexive training. Participants will practice the content of each session daily at home.
