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.

“…There is no restriction on the types of food one can eat, unless dictated by specific health issues (e.g. diabetes, food allergies), because the body will instinctively choose a variety of foods that provide nutritional balance (13,(16)(17)(18)(19) .…”

“…At inclusion and each year thereafter, participants provided data on sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics, including potential IE confounders, such as: sex (18,19,24), age (17,25), educational level (primary, secondary, or university) (17), smoking status (never smoker, former smoker, or current smoker) (17), and physical activity (17,25). For this study, we used data provided as close to the IE assessment as possible.…”

Objective: To examine the relationship between intuitive eating (IE), which includes eating in response to hunger and satiety cues rather than emotional cues and without having forbidden foods, and weight status in a large sample of adults. Methods: A total of 11,774 men and 40,389 women aged 18 years participating in the NutriNet-Sant e cohort were included in this cross-sectional analysis. Self-reported weight and height were collected as well as IE levels using the validated French version of the Intuitive Eating Scale-2. The association between IE and weight status was assessed using multinomial logistic regression models. Results: A higher IE score was strongly associated with lower odds of overweight or obesity in both men and women. The strongest associations were observed in women for both overweight [quartile 4 vs. 1 of IE: odds ratio, 95% confidence interval: (0.19, 0.17-0.20)] and obesity (0.09, 0.08-0.10). Associations in men were as follows: for overweight (0.43, 0.38-0.48) and obesity (0.14, 0.11-0.18). Conclusions: IE is inversely associated with overweight and obesity which supports its importance. Although no causality can be inferred from the reported associations, these data suggest that IE might be relevant for obesity prevention and treatment.

“…In contrast, intuitive eating offers a non diet approach to weight management by eating according to physiological hunger and satiety cues (Augustus-Horvath & Tylka, 2011;Gast, Madanat, & Nielson, 2012;Hawks, Merrill, & Madanat, 2004;Tylka & Kroon Van Diest, 2013;Wirtz & Madanat, 2013). Intuitive eating posits that the body can self-regulate caloric need by sending signals to eat the types and quantities of food to maintain health and weight; these physiological cues are commonly referred to as eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full (Van Dyke & Drinkwater, 2014).…”
