Quantitative evidence is beginning to document the successful outcomes achieved from holistic interventions that include a spiritual element as an approach to self-manage obesity in the community. However, qualitative research, which helps us understand the reasons behind their success, is scarce. Our aim was to explore participants' acceptance of and engagement with the Taste & See programme. Semi-structured interviews were carried out after participants had completed the Taste & See programme. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using deductive thematic analysis. Themes showing that 'God and food issues had been kept separate' at the start of the programme and that participants then 'Began to use faith as a resource' were identified. Also, while 'Eating freely was a challenge' initially, participants later found 'empowerment and enjoyment in freedom'. 'Addressing more than just a weight problem' was valued highly and there were benefits and difficulties that arose from 'Coping with other group members'. The rich level of evaluation provided through this study identifies that the participants found the programme a novel experience. The intervention was acceptable and participants engaged well with the programme content
