“…IE is a more sustainable long-term eating behavior than dieting and is known to be associated with lower levels of cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. It is also inversely associated with disordered eating behavior and leads to body shape satisfaction, lower weight and glucose maintenance (16,17).…”

Introduction: High pre-pregnancy weight and body mass index (BMI) increase the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and diabetes after pregnancy. To tackle weight and metabolic health problems, there is a need to investigate novel lifestyle approaches. Outside of pregnancy, higher adherence to intuitive eating (IE) is associated with lower BMI and improved glycemic control. This study investigated the association between IE and metabolic health during pregnancy and in the early postpartum period among women with GDM. Methods: Two-hundred and fourteen consecutive women aged ≥18, diagnosed with GDM between 2015 and 2017 and completed the "Eating for Physical rather than Emotional Reasons (EPR)" and "Reliance on Hunger and Satiety cues (RHSC) subscales" of the French Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2) questionnaire at the first GDM clinic visit were included in this study. Results: Participants' mean age was 33.32±5.20 years. Their weight and BMI before pregnancy were 68.18±14.83kg and 25.30±5.19kg/m 2 respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, the cross-sectional analyses showed that the two subscales of IES-2 at the first GDM visit were associated with lower weight and BMI before pregnancy, and lower weight at the first GDM visit (β=-0.181 to-0.215, all p≤ 0.008). In addition, the EPR subscale was associated with HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose at the first GDM visit (β=-0.170 and to-0.196; all p≤ 0.016). In the longitudinal analyses, both subscales of IES-2 at first GDM visit were associated with lower weight at the end of pregnancy, BMI and fasting plasma glucose at 6-8 weeks postpartum (β=-0.143 to-0.218, all P≤ 0.040) after adjusting for confounders. Conclusions: Increase adherence to IE could represent a novel approach to weight and glucose control during and after pregnancy in women with GDM.

“…The effect of intuitive eating has been found last longer than regular diet (Bacon, Stern, Van Loan, & Keim, 2005). Furthermore, engaging in intuitive eating appears to be related to low psychological distress because the benefits of intuitive eating are associated with increased psychological and physical wellbeing, enhanced enjoyment, decreased anxiety, improved body shape satisfaction, and elevated self-efficacy (Augustus-Horvath & Tylka, 2011;da Silva, Neves, Ferreira, Capos, & Swami, 2020;Ruzanska & Warschburger, 2017;Saunders, Nichols-Lopez, & Frazier, 2018;Smith & Hawks, 2006). Therefore, a practical and valid instrument that assesses intuitive eating would assist healthcare providers to better understand intuitive eating among women who are overweight/obese with breast cancer.…”

Women with breast cancer are at risk of being overweight/obese which may consequently increase mortality. Intuitive eating is an adaptive eating behavior which might be beneficial for weight outcomes. The present study validated the Persian Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2) among overweight/obese Iranian females with breast cancer. Women who were overweight/obese with breast cancer (n = 762; mean ± SD age = 55.1 ± 5.7 years) completed the following questionnaires: IES-2, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE-6), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Short Form-12 (SF-12), Weight Bias Internalization Scale (WBIS), Body Appreciation Scale-2 (BAS-2), and Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Rasch analysis were applied to examine the psychometric properties of the IES-2. Associations between IES-2 score and other scale scores were assessed. CFA and Rasch analysis suggested that the Persian IES-2 had robust psychometric properties and all IES-2 items were meaningful in their embedded domains. The four-factor structure of the Persian IES-2 was confirmed. Concurrent validity was supported by the positive correlations between the IES-2 score and scores on the GSE-6, SF-12 mental component, and BAS-2. Negative correlations were found between the IES-2 score and the HADS (anxiety and depression subscales), WBIS, and EAT-26. The present study demonstrated that the Persian IES-2 is a well-designed instrument and is applicable for women who are overweight/obese with breast cancer.

“…Participant education, used as a proxy for socioeconomic status, ranged from less than High School (2.2%) to Doctorate (4.4%), with the median & most frequent response being Bachelor's Degree (38.5%).

“…In response to the guiding prompt, participants shared a total of 304 photographs (M = 10.13, SD = 5.56), and offered 82 suggestions (range [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]M = 2.82,SD = 2.07) across the 30 interviews. These suggestions fell into six categories or themes: media (n = 18), healthcare practice and access (n = 18), insurance reform (n = 14), education (n = 13), objectification of the female body (n = 12), and mental health stigma (n = 7).…”
