“…The body scan exercise was aimed at encouraging individuals with emotional eating to become aware of and pay attention to inner body sensations that may have emerged from their emotions. The body scan exercise was derived and adapted from an observational exercise described in the study protocol of Brevers [ 37 ] and required participants to indicate per bodily region (13 in total) whether it felt pleasant (including neutral) or unpleasant based on a topographical self-report method [ 55 ]. Subsequently, participants were challenged to think about what could be causing the pleasant/unpleasant sensations in their body, with answer options ranging from: (1) bodily/physiological processes (e.g., hunger, thirst, muscle soreness, disease symptoms), (2) an emotion, or (3) other.…”

“…Firstly, to tailor to the first need (i.e., the need for insight in bodily sensations), an observational exercise described in the study protocol of Brevers et al [ 37 ] can be used. The observational exercise is aimed at promoting intuitive eating (i.e., attuned, or mindful eating) in obese patients, by encouraging them to become aware of hunger and inner body sensations that might emerge from their emotions [ 38 ].…”

Background Emotional eating is a complex problem fostering obesity and resulting from maladaptive emotion regulation. Traditional behavioural weight loss interventions have shown insignificant effect. They can be improved by targeting the specific needs of individuals with emotional eating. Objective The current study explored a tailored online approach with the aim to positively influence affect (positive and negative) and emotion regulation by applying one of three exercises: body scan, opposite action, and positive reappraisal. Design An embedded mixed-method design (questionnaire data (t0, t1, t2) and perceived usefulness of exercises in t2) was used to evaluate the effects of a two-week online quasi-experimental pilot study. Subjects/setting In total, 80 participants with self-reported emotional eating difficulties (DEBQ-E; Memo = 3.48, SD = .64, range 1.62–4.92) finished baseline measurements; 15 completed the intervention. The study sample was predominantly female (95%), from 18 till 66 (Mage = 38,0 ± SD = 14.25). Results Participants reported that the exercises helped them to pay attention to their physical sensations, and to see positive aspects in negative matters. The exercises were considered difficult by the participants, with too little explanation, and dull, due to minor variation. The observed changes revealed small, and moreover, not significant improvements of the three exercises on positive and negative affect and overall emotion dysregulation. Although the quantitative results did not reach significance, the qualitative data highlighted which aspects of the tailored exercises may have contributed to mood and emotion regulation outcomes. A notable observation in the present study is the substantial dropout rate, with the number of participants decreasing from 80 at baseline (T0) to 15 at the post-intervention stage (T2). Conclusions Future studies should identify tailored online exercises in emotion regulation skills in more detail and explore the contexts in which they are most effective in a personalized virtual coach virtual coach to be developed for individuals with emotional eating. Given the high dropout rate, more emphasis should be given to a proper presentation of the exercises, as well as more explanation of their usefulness and how to perform them.

“…reminding users of their goals to prompt diet improvement) [158]. Implementation intentions can follow an "if-then" structure, which aims to create a strong link between a specific situation and a response that allows users to select the right response to the specific situation [20]. Giving control back to the user and assisting with making appropriate decisions is the goal of the self-control strategy.…”

Seemingly trivial eating habits, such as eating too fast, have been linked to diverse and rather serious health issues. While technology-mediated interventions have leveraged several strategies to promote healthy dietary habits, designing successful pervasive interventions remains challenging. This thesis first offers three contributions with the aim of assisting in the design of eating interventions: 1) a review of 62 studies which focused on interventions targeting eating habits; 2) a generative design framework with multiple design parameters; and, 3) an exploration of the potential efficacy of the developed framework. These contributions will improve

“…TEG1 Manger de façon intuitive consiste, selon Evelyn Tribole et Elyse Resch, à manger "naturellement" et "simplement", en fonction de ses besoins physiologiques [1]. Le mangeur intuitif écoute et respecte ses sensations physiques de faim, de satiété et de rassasiement, mais aussi tous ses besoins, qu'ils soient physiques, émotionnels ou environnementaux, telles les obligations sociales ou familiales [2]. Ce comportement alimentaire est donc extrêmement flexible et adaptatif.…”
