A A Mindfulness-Based Eating Intervention Approach to Weight Loss in Overweight and Obese Adults
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Intuitive eating (IE), or a mindfulness-based intervention approach to eating, teaches individuals to focus on their experience and sensual awareness of food. Despite the primary objective of the practices not being weight-related, interest in mindfulness or IE practices for weight loss has continued to grow as following these practices has elicited weight changes in participants. This review aims to examine if mindfulness-based interventions in overweight or obese adults effectively elicit weight loss, maintain weight loss efforts long-term, and improve eating behaviors and diet quality. A systematic search of several databases using specific search terms resulted in twenty-one articles. Of the studies selected, twelve studies demonstrated significant weight loss and weight maintenance results (p <0.05). Three studies examined the diet quality of individuals following a mindfulness-based eating intervention (MBEI), with two studies revealing statistically significant improvements (p <0.05). The eating behaviors of participants measured by five studies indicated improvement in intuitive eating scores and long-term maintenance of intuitive eating practices. However, the studies used several different MBEIs and tools to measure diet quality and eating behaviors, which may impact results. Future studies, including standardized MBEI protocols and tools, are needed to determine the effectiveness of MBEI in weight reduction and maintenance, diet quality, and eating behavior improvement.
