“…Women described that their food choices were driven by food availability more so than the rewarding value of food, which departs somewhat from previous reports that individuals with vs without LOC eating often chose highly palatable foods (Eichin et al, 2022) and consumed a greater percentage of calories from fats during an episode (Tanofsky-Kraff et al, 2009;Theim et al, 2007;Vannucci et al, 2014).…”

Objective Loss of control (LOC) eating following bariatric surgery remains insufficiently understood, reflected in a lack of clear conceptualization, valid measurements, and effective treatments. This study explored patients' perspectives on LOC eating post‐bariatric surgery, focusing on the relevance of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders‐5 (DSM‐5) indicators of impaired control, and patients' experiences before (precipitating factors), during (eating patterns, perpetuating factors), and after the episodes (strategies used to stop eating). Methods This was a qualitative study using descriptive phenomenology. Participants were adults who have undergone gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and self‐reported recent LOC eating. Data were collected by semi‐structured interviews and analyzed using a combined inductive and deductive approach. Results Participants were all women (N = 15; age: 34.5 ± 9.2 years). Results suggested that (1) except for feeling disgusted, guilty, or depressed after eating, other DSM‐5 indicators did not seem to be highly relevant to this bariatric cohort; (2) LOC eating could occur across contexts, with food access, boredom, and food craving being consistent triggers; (3) the food amount consumed during a LOC episode was not necessarily considered excessive; (4) “mindlessness” and “satisfying hedonic, physiological, and mental needs” were the main perpetuating factors of LOC eating; and (5) self‐talk and distracting attention were the most adopted strategies to stop eating. Discussion Study findings have implications concerning the conceptualization, measurement, and intervention of LOC eating among bariatric patients. For example, results suggested the need for more data to determine the appropriate indicators of LOC eating and the inclusion of boredom as an intervention target in bariatric patients. Public Significance Loss of control (LOC) eating is characterized by a sense of being unable to stop while eating. LOC eating is prevalent in patients who have undergone weight loss surgery and is associated with worse surgical outcomes. This qualitative study that explored post‐bariatric surgery patients' experiences of LOC eating will inform efforts to better assess and intervene in this disordered eating behavior, thus ultimately optimizing patients' health following weight loss surgery.

“…A similar argument could be made for the reduced liking of high-energy dense foods, as this process has been associated with a tendency to prefer these foods in a forced-choice task [45]. Interestingly though, this preferred choice did not translate into greater consumption of high palatable foods during a bogus taste test [45]. Consumption of food was not measured in this study, and therefore it is not possible to conclude whether reduced hunger and/or liking of high-energy dense foods would translate to real-world eating behaviour.…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to expand the evidence on the feasibility and impact of food-specific inhibitory control training in a community sample of people with disinhibited eating.MethodsRecruitment and data collection were conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak, in Italy. Ninety-four adult individuals with disinhibited eating were randomised to one of two conditions: App-based food-specific inhibitory control training or waiting list. Participants were assessed at baseline, end of intervention (two weeks following baseline) and follow-up (one week later). The assessment measures included questionnaires about eating behaviour and mood.ResultsSeventy-three percent of the sample reported a diagnosis of binge eating disorder, and 20.4% a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa. Retention rates were 77% and 86% for the food-specific inhibitory control training and the waiting list conditions, respectively. Almost half of the participants allocated to the training condition completed the “recommended” dose of training (i.e., 10 or more sessions). Those in the training condition reported lower levels of wanting for high-energy dense foods (p<0.05), a trend for lower levels of perceived hunger (p=0.07), and lower levels of depression (p<0.05). Binge eating symptoms, disinhibition, wanting for high-energy dense foods, stress and anxiety were significantly lower at end of intervention, compared to baseline (p<.05). ConclusionFindings corroborate the feasibility of food-specific inhibitory control training, and its impact on high-energy dense foods liking. The study expands the evidence base for food-specific inhibitory control training by highlighting its impact on perceived hunger and depression. The mechanisms underlying these effects remain to be clarified.Level of Evidence: Level I, Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trials; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; experimental studies.
