“…However, when under-reporting was further evaluated among youth categorised into BMI percentile groups, under-reporting was observed only among overweight youth (those with normal BMI had an acceptable EI:BMR ratio of 1?56). The under-reporting of EI among overweight Cree youth is supported by several studies, which found evidence of under-reporting of EI by higher weight children and adults (34,35) . Many factors may occur in late childhood and adolescents that would contribute to the underreporting of EI among higher-weight individuals (36,37) .…”

Objective: To describe dietary habits and extent of overweight and obesity among Cree youth. Design: Dietary intake and habits were assessed by a 24 h recall and FFQ as part of a cross-sectional survey. Setting: Three Cree communities in northern Québec, Canada. Subjects: A total of 125 youth aged 9-18 years. Results: Overall 67?6 % of the study population was either at risk of overweight or overweight. Over 98 % had a usual saturated fat intake over 10 % of energy while 65 % had a lower consumption of fruit/vegetables and 95 % had a lower consumption of milk and milk products than recommended by Canada's Food Guide. The majority (96?8 %) consumed high-fat foods (.40 % of total energy as fat), which accounted for 39 % of total energy intake (EI). Similarly, 92?8 % consumed high-sugar food and beverages (.25 % of total energy as sugar), which accounted for 12?8 % of total EI. Furthermore, 95 % of the youth had a Healthy Eating Index (HEI) below the recommended score of 80 or above. Certain measures of diet quality (traditional food (TF) consumption, HEI and vegetables and fruit consumption) were significantly correlated with adiposity measures. Conclusions: A high prevalence of low-diet quality was found with a high degree of sugar and fat intake and a low consumption of vegetables/fruit and milk/milk alternates and any weekly TF. Dietary interventions are sorely needed.

“…No presente estudo, verificamos que a ingestão total de energia não estava relacionada ou foi inversamente relacionada com a gordura corporal. Estudos transversais não têm constatado associação entre a ingestão total de energia e excesso de peso ou gordura corporal 31,32 , e, mesmo após o ajuste para o gasto energéti-co, os estudos têm mostrado que as crianças obesas apresentam ingestão de energia menor que as não obesas 33,34 . Quando a ingestão total de energia não está relacionada ou é inversamente relacionada com a gordura corporal, como foi o caso deste estudo, os resultados podem ser explicados segundo algumas possibilidades, por exemplo, indivíduos com peso excessivo controlam a dieta ou comem menos devido aos conselhos da família ou às orientações médicas 35 ou indivíduos com excesso de peso tendem a subestimar a ingestão dietética, consciente ou inconscientemente 36,37 .…”

“…Accumulating evidence suggests that obese individuals tend to consume higher levels of fats, sugars, and proteins than their normal-weight counterparts (e.g., Mai et al, 2011;McGloin et al, 2002;Nicklas, Yang, Baranowski, Zakeri, & Berenson, 2003). Several authors have sought to explain this maladaptive pattern of behavior in terms of food-related evaluations.…”

IRAP Food Cognition 2 AbstractIt has been argued that obese individuals evaluate high caloric, palatable foods more positively than their normal weight peers, and that this positivity bias causes them to consume such foods, even when healthy alternatives are available. Yet when self-reported and automatic food preferences are assessed no such evaluative biases tend to emerge. We argue that situational (food deprivation) and methodological factors may explain why implicit measures often fail to discriminate between the food-evaluations of these two groups. Across three studies we manipulated the food deprivation state of clinically obese and normal-weight participants and then exposed them to an indirect procedure (IRAP) and self-report questionnaires. We found that automatic food-related cognition was moderated by a person's weight status and food deprivation state. Our findings suggest that the diagnostic and predictive value of implicit measures may be increased when (a) situational moderators are taken into consideration and (b)we pay greater attention to the different ways in which people automatically relate rather than simply categorize food stimuli. The Western world is currently facing an obesity epidemic. Over the past three decades, obesity rates have exploded at an alarming rate (Finucane et al., 2011), to the point that one in three adults in the United States (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, & Flegal, 2014) as well as one in five Europeans are currently overweight (WHO, 2013). As prevalence rates have grown so too have the health-related, socioeconomic, and psychological costs associated with this phenomenon (Finkelstein, Ruhm, & Kosal, 2005;Wardle & Cooke, 2005). With obesity comes an increased risk of type-II diabetes, adult heart disease, as well as several forms of cancer and premature morbidity (Reilly, et al., 2003;Wang, McPherson, Marsh, Gortmaker, & Brown, 2011). In addition to its economic burden, obesity is also associated with a host of psychosocial problems, including anxiety, depression, and social discrimination (see Puhl & Heuer, 2009; Sutin, Stephan, & Terracciano, 2015;Wang et al., 2011). If we are to design effective interventions to ameliorate or even reverse this epidemic then research will need to elucidate those factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of this phenomenon.One such factor appears to be food choice, and in particular, the excessive consumption of energy dense foods containing high levels of calories, sugars, and fat as well as the under consumption of nutrient dense foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Accumulating evidence suggests that obese individuals tend to consume higher levels of fats, sugars, and proteins than their normal-weight counterparts (e.g., Mai et al., 2011;McGloin et al., 2002;Nicklas, Yang, Baranowski, Zakeri, & Berenson, 2003). Several authors have sought to explain this maladaptive pattern of behavior in terms of food-related evaluations. That is, obese individuals are t...
