The relationship between intuitive eating and body dissatisfaction among people with excess weight
Abstract
Introduction: the use of a restrictive diet for treating obesity has been proven inefficient in the long-term. Besides, body dissatisfaction could be the reason for starting a restrictive diet. In this sense, intuitive eating emerges as an alternative for reconnecting individuals with their bodies and the signals it sends. Objective: to evaluate an individuals’ tendency to follow physiological signs of hunger and satiety and correlate them with body dissatisfaction in overweight people. Materials and methods: this is a transversal and quantitative study with users of a specialized obesity treatment service in the city of Fortaleza. Sociodemographic data was collected and the Intuitive Eating Scale - 2 (IES-2) and Stunkard Silhouettes Scale were applied; weight and height were also collected. Results: A negative correlation was observed between 'Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues', weight (p=-0,298; p=0,030) and current silhouette (p=-0,341; p=0,012) and also between 'Body-Food Choice Congruence' and current silhouette (p=-0,297; p=0,031). Discussion: the literature analysis and the presented data have shown that there are interactions between hunger and satiety cues, body-food choice congruence, and anthropometric variables and body perception. Conclusion: reliance on hunger and satiety cues is linked with body image and weight, and body, food choice congruence are also linked with body image.
