Objective: The YBC-EDS is a semistructured interview assessing core preoccupations and rituals related to eating disorders.

- The study focused on how meal replacement adherence affects outcomes in a weight loss program for 60 women aged 29-62 with varying BMIs.
- Participants were split into control and experimental groups to assess the impact of meal replacements on weight loss maintenance, measuring factors like weight, depression, and eating behaviors at four points during the study.
