The purpose of this research study is to pilot test a new intervention that helps young adult
women learn adaptive eating and exercise strategies, increase their body acceptance, decrease
unhealthy weight control behaviors and prevent future eating and problems. This intervention
is experimental, and the study will test its feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness.
women learn adaptive eating and exercise strategies, increase their body acceptance, decrease
unhealthy weight control behaviors and prevent future eating and problems. This intervention
is experimental, and the study will test its feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness.
The intervention, Intuitive Eating, is an eating approach that addresses important risk
factors and promotes adaptive eating attitudes and behaviors. It has three central tenets: 1)
unconditional permission to eat when hungry, 2) eating for physical rather than emotional
reasons, and 3) eating according to hunger and satiety cues. Intuitive Eating has ten
principles that focus on rejecting the dieting mentality, honoring hunger cues, decreasing
restrictive behaviors that lead to deprivation and bingeing, challenging rigid food rules,
increasing awareness of satiety, discovering the satisfaction of food, coping with emotions
without food, respecting and accepting one's body, using exercise as self-care, and balancing
nutrition with satisfaction.
