A structured literature review on the role of mindfulness, mindful eating and intuitive eating in changing eating behaviours: effectiveness and associated potential mechanisms

The role of mindfulness, mindful eating and a newer concept of intuitive eating in modulating eating habits is an area of increasing interest. In this structured literature review, a summary of the current evidence is presented, together with details of interventions undertaken and the tools to measure outcomes. It is broad in scope given the emerging evidence base in this area. The review yielded sixty-eight publications: twenty-three interventions in obese/overweight populations; twenty-nine interventions in normal-weight populations; sixteen observational studies, three of which were carried out in overweight/obese populations. Mindfulness-based approaches appear most effective in addressing binge eating, emotional eating and eating in response to external cues. There is a lack of compelling evidence for the effectiveness of mindfulness and mindful eating in weight management. Mindfulness-based approaches may prevent weight gain. Reduced food intake was seen in some of the studies in overweight and obese populations, but this was less apparent in the studies in normal-weight populations. The evidence base for intuitive eating is limited to date and further research is needed to examine its potential in altering eating behaviours. Mindfulness appears to work by an increased awareness of internal, rather than external, cues to eat. Mindfulness and mindful eating have the potential to address problematic eating behaviours and the challenges many face with controlling their food intake. Encouraging a mindful eating approach would seem to be a positive message to be included in general weight management advice to the public.

The purpose of this paper is to review the conceptualization of the adaptation of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with religious orientation in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The underlying assumption for TPB implication in SMEs is that employee's behavioral intention at work may be modified via TPB which shall improve the employee competitiveness, which in turn increases the organizational success factors in the industry. The proposed conceptual framework is based on well-known analytical framework for TPB developed by Ajzen, (1991). Literature suggested that religion engenders the shape of behaviour, which is strongly followed by people. Based upon conceptual and empirical evidences framework and propositions are developed to test the adaptation of TPB and religious orientation in SME. The proposed framework provides a basis for developing an empirical model to advance the TBP with religious orientation in SME which further can be test across the SME sectors and results from different geographical and cultural settings may also be explore. This research contributes to existing knowledge by extension of TPB in SMEs operating in Pakistan, which would result in the improvement of employee's behavior. This study could be of practical value for SMEs owner/ managers, who want to maximize the employee behavior through effective adaptation of TBP with religious orientation that support their organization.

ObjectiveIntuitive eating (IE) is an emerging health promotion framework which has shown promise in the prevention and early intervention of disordered eating (DE) behavior in adults. This study sought to extend this work by assessing the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a 5‐week IE intervention, “Your Body is Your Home,” delivered in school classrooms for early adolescents aged 11–13.MethodsThe present study utilized a quasi‐experimental design. Eligibility criteria were defined a priori and published in a registered protocol. Four classrooms (n = 128 student participants) were recruited into two streams, and self‐report questionnaires were administered at pre‐test, post‐test, and 4‐week follow‐up. The questionnaires included the Intuitive Eating Scale for Early Adolescents (IES‐2‐EA), the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS‐2), and the WHO Wellbeing Index (WHO‐5). Linear mixed models were used to conduct preliminary efficacy testing.ResultsThe results indicate that a brief classroom‐based IE intervention is feasible and acceptable for both students and teaching staff; retention, fidelity, and attendance targets were achieved. Students and teachers rated all five sessions of the intervention as a highly feasible method of health promotion. Further, preliminary efficacy data suggest IE interventions aimed at early adolescents may be a feasible way of improving certain aspects of IE (p < .001) in male and female participants, and body appreciation (p < .001) in male participants.DiscussionThe study provides preliminary support for the implementation and evaluation of an IE intervention as part of school‐based health promotion and offers preliminary effect size estimates for a larger‐scale randomized trial.Public SignificanceExisting evidence suggests that IE may be a useful framework through which relationships with food and the body can be improved. The present study seeks to extend this work by adapting the framework for early adolescents (among whom the framework is not well understood) and examining feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary changes to several health and well‐being metrics following a 5‐week school‐based intervention.
