Background: Parents have a role in shaping the eating behaviors of young children and the intergenerational transmission of eating attitudes. However, little is known regarding how parental intuitive eating practices are related to characteristics of home food and meal environments.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between parental intuitive eating and the home food and meal environment.
Design: Cross-sectional analysis of survey data collected online and by mail in 2015-2016 as part of the Project EAT cohort study.
Participants And Setting: Participants from 750 unique households (470 mothers, 280 fathers) were surveyed in young adulthood (Mean [M] age = 31.4 years, Standard Deviation [SD] = 1.5). Baseline enrollment of participants in the population-based Project EAT study was conducted in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, schools.
Main Outcome Measures: Intuitive eating was assessed via self-report.
Statistical Analyses: Modified Poisson regression models were conducted, adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
Results: Among mothers, higher intuitive eating scores were associated with greater likelihood of usually having fruits and vegetables in the home (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.03) and with lower likelihood of usually having salty snacks and soda pop in the home (PR = 0.91). Higher intuitive eating scores were also associated with greater likelihood of usually serving fruits and vegetables at dinner among mothers (PR = 1.07). Among both mothers (PR = 1.08) and fathers (PR = 1.07), higher intuitive eating scores were associated with greater likelihood of usually having enough time and energy to prepare meals.
Conclusions: Intuitive eating practices in parents are associated with specific home food environment characteristics. Extending the understanding of these relationships in longitudinal data has the potential to inform the directionality of influences and may help to identify targets for intervention.

Weight bias internalization statistically mediates the association between positive body image and intuitive eating: A cross-sectional study.
J Acad Nutr Diet

Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At the time this work began, S. Rothenberg was a graduate student at Nova Southeastern University.
Background: Two facets of positive body image, body appreciation and functionality appreciation, are positively associated with an adaptive eating style known as intuitive eating. Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the association between positive body image and intuitive eating, although it is well established that weight bias internalization is associated with unfavorable views of the self and body and interferes with health behavior engagement.
Objective: The present cross-sectional study examined weight bias internalization as a statistical mediator of the association between positive body image (i.
Intuitive eating predictors and outcomes in people with severe mental illness participating in a lifestyle intervention.

Issue Addressed: People with severe mental illness (SMI) are at higher risk of preventable diseases than the general population; poor diet contributes to heightened risk. Adaptive approaches designed to improve intuitive eating may improve dietary behaviours in people with SMI. Aims of this study were to investigate predictors of, and assess the impact of a nutrition program on, intuitive eating in people with SMI.

Background/objectives: Obesity among college students has been consistently high in the recent decades. Regulatory processes such as interoception and self-regulation have been studied to identify specific health behaviors that lead to weight gain. Reduced interoception and self-regulation may lead to increased body mass index (BMI), however, various eating styles may indirectly affect this relationship.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the challenges faced by Mexican immigrant farmworkers regarding access to health services and the prevalence of diet-related health issues, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive health interventions.
- - Researchers developed a mobile app for a 14-day dietary assessment using food photography, aiming to gather data on the participants' eating habits while accommodating low literacy levels.
- - Results from 16 participants showed a total of 1475 food photos taken, with a slight decrease in daily photo counts from the first week to the second, indicating trends in adherence to the protocol.

Objective: Current treatments for eating disorders have limited effectiveness, leaving over half of patients unremitted. The evaluation of emerging interventions to support recovery is therefore critical. This study evaluated the efficacy and acceptability of an innovative, virtual intervention for eating disorders (Eat Breathe Thrive; EBT-R).
