“…Four of the cohorts were from overweight/obese populations of which two were waiting for bariatric surgery (76,77) . Intuitive eating was associated with a lower BMI in four studies (68,70,74,75) . Other observations included a decreased emotional eating with higher levels of mindfulness (76,77,79) and a higher level of everyday mindfulness was related negatively to self-report serve size of energy-dense food (83) .…”

“…Two of the cohorts were substantial, with 1000 (72) and 2000 (69) subjects, respectively. The cohort populations were diverse, with six undertaken among university students (69)(70)(71)73,80,82) and two taken among other young adult populations (68,71) . The remaining cohorts were spread across a wide age spectrum from middle school (72) to older obese adults (78) .…”

The role of mindfulness, mindful eating and a newer concept of intuitive eating in modulating eating habits is an area of increasing interest. In this structured literature review, a summary of the current evidence is presented, together with details of interventions undertaken and the tools to measure outcomes. It is broad in scope given the emerging evidence base in this area. The review yielded sixty-eight publications: twenty-three interventions in obese/overweight populations; twenty-nine interventions in normal-weight populations; sixteen observational studies, three of which were carried out in overweight/obese populations. Mindfulness-based approaches appear most effective in addressing binge eating, emotional eating and eating in response to external cues. There is a lack of compelling evidence for the effectiveness of mindfulness and mindful eating in weight management. Mindfulness-based approaches may prevent weight gain. Reduced food intake was seen in some of the studies in overweight and obese populations, but this was less apparent in the studies in normal-weight populations. The evidence base for intuitive eating is limited to date and further research is needed to examine its potential in altering eating behaviours. Mindfulness appears to work by an increased awareness of internal, rather than external, cues to eat. Mindfulness and mindful eating have the potential to address problematic eating behaviours and the challenges many face with controlling their food intake. Encouraging a mindful eating approach would seem to be a positive message to be included in general weight management advice to the public.

“…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) . To our knowledge, only two previous studies have examined the relationship between intuitive eating and BMI in adult women (7,10) , and no such studies have been undertaken in representative nationwide samples.…”

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.

“…On one hand, intuitive eating seems to be negatively correlated to eating disorders, disinhibition, body mass index, cardio-vascular risks, weight and shape concerns, and negative affects. On the other hand, intuitive eating was positively correlated to high levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL), culinary pleasure, positive feelings and emotions, quality of life satisfaction and higher selfesteem [47,61,[64][65][66][67][68][69][70].…”

Treat or Enhance Cognitive Restraint in Individuals Suffering from Overweight or Obesity? Systematic Revue of the Literature

Prior to 1975, the scientific literature mainly used to compare obese with normal-weight subjects or subjects with or without an eating disorder. This period was followed by the emergence of "unrestrained eaters", who have "normal" eating behaviors versus "restrained eaters", who are normal-weight individuals with similar eating behavioral patterns than those of obese people [2]. After this first observation, the definition of a "restrained eater" has developed and came into a consensus: it describes someone who constantly deliberately controls his food intake in order to maintain or lose weight [3]. This person could have a normal bodyweight, be overweight or even obese and the dietary control could be efficient or ineffective [4]. Here, the intention to control food intake is the main characteristic. It is not surprising that CR is most often identified in individuals AbstractCognitive Restraint, a mind control over food intake in order to lose or maintain weight, leads to harmful consequences in individuals suffering from overweight or obesity. These consequences include an alteration of internal perceptions of hunger and satiety, a disinhibition, an emotional dysregulation and a decrease in selfesteem and body satisfaction. Nevertheless, the systematic review on the subject highlights a lack of consensus. In fact, many studies suggest that flexible control, or even an increase in self-control could be efficient to lose weight and improve an individual's psychological factors. After presenting each point of view and its arguments as well as the internal validity of studies, we will discuss promising future research perspectives.
