“…The lack of significant changes in body satisfaction after food consumption contradicts previous research, which has shown that that body image is immediately and adversely affected by food consumption in non-clinical samples (e.g., Vocks et al, 2007 ; Hayes et al, 2011 ). However, while the participants in these past studies ( Vocks et al, 2007 ; Hayes et al, 2011 ) were required to consume the entire food item (e.g., donut, banana, or milkshake), participants in this study were not forced to do so for ethical reasons. Therefore, it is possible that participants ceased consumption when eating began to have an adverse effect on body image satisfaction.…”

“…A cup of water was provided to increase the physical sensation of satiation. Based on prior evidence that the consumption of foods perceived to be unhealthy is related to post-consumption increases in negative mood (e.g., Macht and Dettmer, 2006 ) and can also produce immediate negative effects on body satisfaction (e.g., Hayes et al, 2011 ) and estimations of body size (e.g., Thompson et al, 1993 ), it was expected that the consumption of these items in the current study would have a negative impact on affect and body satisfaction.…”

“…Importantly, only two studies have investigated mindfulness inductions in relation to food consumption, and both studies utilized mindfulness prior to food being consumed ( Cowdrey et al, 2013 ; Marek et al, 2013 ). Even in non-clinical groups, food consumption has been shown to produce immediate and adverse effects on body image (e.g., Hayes et al, 2011 ) and estimations of body size (e.g., Thompson et al, 1993 ). Although a mindfulness induction prior to food consumption could help to prevent these responses or help individuals cope with them as they occur, it is possible that mindfulness inductions might have greater impact when introduced after food consumption to help individuals cope with aversive thoughts or feelings that arise after eating.…”

The Differential Effects of Mindfulness and Distraction on Affect and Body Satisfaction Following Food Consumption

This study investigated whether engaging in mindfulness following food consumption produced changes in affect and body satisfaction, as compared to a control distraction task. The moderating effects of eating pathology and neuroticism were also examined. A total of 110 female university students consumed food and water before engaging in either a mindfulness induction or a control distraction task. Participants completed trait measures of eating pathology and neuroticism at baseline, and measures of state affect and body satisfaction before and after food consumption, and after the induction. Results revealed that consuming food and water reduced positive affect. Unexpectedly, both the mindfulness group and distraction control group experienced similar improvements in negative affect and body satisfaction following the induction. Eating pathology and neuroticism did not moderate the observed changes. These findings suggest that both mindfulness and distraction may contribute to the effectiveness of treatments for disordered eating that incorporate both of these techniques, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

“…In terms of mechanism, it is possible that eating behaviour may influence affect simply through psychological mechanisms. Perceptions of the health value of certain foods may lead a person to feel more positive following consumption of ‘healthy’ foods (Hayes, D'Anci, & Kanarek, ; Macht & Dettmer, ; Ogden & Wardle, ). However, physiological mechanisms are also possible (Gomez‐Pinilla, ).…”

“…Some research has shown that the consumption of healthy food choices, which are perceived to be lower in calories can provoke positive emotions (45,46) . Hence, as FV are generally deemed as healthy, their intake might lead to both the expectancy of psychological benefits and subsequent improvements in psychological well-being.…”

The potential role of fruit and vegetables in aspects of psychological well-being: a review of the literature and future directions

The objective of the present paper was to review the literature investigating the potential relationship between fruit and vegetables (FV) and psychological well-being. The rising prevalence of mental ill health is causing considerable societal burden. Inexpensive and effective strategies are therefore required to improve the psychological well-being of the population, and to reduce the negative impact of mental health problems. A growing body of literature suggests that dietary intake may have the potential to influence psychological well-being. For example, studies have suggested that particular dietary constituents, including vitamins and minerals, might be beneficial to psychological health. However, in order to better reflect normal dietary intake, health-based research has increasingly begun to focus on whole foods and dietary patterns, rather than individual nutrients. One food group that has received increasing attention with regard to psychological health is FV. This is probably a result of the strong evidence base, which exists in relation to their protective association with a number of chronic diseases, as well as the fact that they are a rich source of some of the nutrients which have been linked to psychological health. While some promising findings exist with regards to FV intake and psychological well-being, overall, results are inconsistent. Possible reasons for this, such as methodological issues related to study design and the measurement of psychological well-being and FV intake, are discussed within this review. Based on the predominantly observational nature of existing literature, the present paper concludes that future well-designed randomised controlled trials are required to investigate the relationship further.
