“…The two out of eight studies that found weight reduction are limited by inadequate sample size (eight per group) (34) , lack of a control group (19) and very short follow-up periods (19,34) . However, there is some evidence that whereas traditional dieting results in initial weight loss followed by weight regain, an IE programme may assist in weight maintenance (26,(28)(29)(30)35,36) . Moreover, completion of an IE programme may result in weight loss (37) .…”

“…Two of the five studies investigating this association find support for this hypothesis. Hawley et al (30) reported that all three groups participating in variations of an IE programme improved their nutritional intake as measured by the nine-item Dietary Quality Score. Madden et al (25) , in a cross-sectional survey, found positive associations between intuitive eating and vegetable intake and time taken to eat main meal, and negative associations with binge eating and self-reported rates of eating.…”

Objective: To review the peer-reviewed literature on relationships between intuitive eating and health indicators and suggest areas of inquiry for future research. We define the fundamental principles of intuitive eating as: (i) eating when hungry; (ii) stopping eating when no longer hungry/full; and (iii) no restrictions on types of food eaten unless for medical reasons. Design: We include articles cited by PubMed, PsycInfo and Science Direct published in peer-reviewed journals or theses that include 'intuitive eating' or related concepts in the title or abstract and that test relationships between intuitive eating and physical or mental health indicators. Results: We found twenty-six articles that met our criteria: seventeen cross-sectional survey studies and nine clinical studies, eight of which were randomised controlled trials. The cross-sectional surveys indicate that intuitive eating is negatively associated with BMI, positively associated with various psychological health indicators, and possibly positively associated with improved dietary intake and/or eating behaviours, but not associated with higher levels of physical activity. From the clinical studies, we conclude that the implementation of intuitive eating results in weight maintenance but perhaps not weight loss, improved psychological health, possibly improved physical health indicators other than BMI (e.g. blood pressure; cholesterol levels) and dietary intake and/or eating behaviours, but probably not higher levels of physical activity. Conclusions: Research on intuitive eating has increased in recent years. Extant research demonstrates substantial and consistent associations between intuitive eating and both lower BMI and better psychological health. Additional research can add to the breadth and depth of these findings. The article concludes with several suggestions for future research.

“…Intuitive eating has been shown to be negatively related to eating disorder symptomatology, body dissatisfaction and internalization of the thin ideal, and positively related to well-being (10) . Recent randomized trials in treatment-seeking obese women have shown that training in intuitive eating (eating in response to hunger and satiety signals) can prevent weight gain over 2 years (9,11) . Among college women, intuitive eating has been associated with lower BMI (10,12) , lower TAG levels, higher levels of HDL cholesterol and decreased cardiovascular risk (12) .…”

Objective: To examine the association between eating in response to hunger and satiety signals (intuitive eating) and BMI. A second objective was to determine whether the hypothesized higher BMI in less intuitive eaters could be explained by the intake of specific foods, speed of eating or binge eating. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Participants were randomly selected from a nationally representative sampling frame. Eating in response to hunger and satiety signals (termed 'intuitive eating'), self-reported height and weight, frequency of binge eating, speed of eating and usual intakes of fruits, vegetables and selected high-fat and/or high-sugar foods were measured. Setting: Nationwide study, New Zealand. Subjects: Women (n 2500) aged 40-50 years randomly selected from New Zealand electoral rolls, including Māori rolls (66 % response rate; n 1601). Results: Intuitive Eating Scale (IES) scores were significantly associated with BMI in an inverse direction, after adjusting for potential confounding variables. When controlling for confounding variables, as well as potential mediators, the inverse association between intuitive eating (potential range of IES score: 21-105) and BMI was only slightly attenuated and remained statistically significant (5?1 % decrease in BMI for every 10-unit increase in intuitive eating; 95 % CI 4?2, 6?1 %; P , 0?0 0 1). The relationship between intuitive eating and BMI was partially mediated by frequency of binge eating. Conclusions: Eating in response to hunger and satiety signals is strongly associated with lower BMI in mid-age women. The direction of causality needs to be investigated in longitudinal studies and randomized controlled trials.

“…A literature review points out that intuitive eaters have lower body mass index (BMI) than nonintuitive eaters (Van Dyke & Drinkwater, 2013). In addition, intuitive eating intervention programs have been shown to significantly improve total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels (Bacon et al, 2005), as well as diastolic (Hawley et al, 2008) and systolic (Bacon et al, 2005) blood pressure.…”
