About this Research Topic
In both clinical and non-clinical populations (such as those with overweight or obesity, patients with binge eating disorders, or those with chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes mellitus), intuitive eating has been recognized for its important role in promoting healthy eating behavior. Knowledge in this field is constantly expanding, with authors providing new and fascinating findings. That said, there are several areas where research is still lacking, such as in young people with or without disordered eating patterns, and in the prevention or treatment of older adults with co-morbidities connected to their mental health.
In this Research Topic, we would like to focus on the latest discoveries regarding the relationship between intuitive eating, health, and body/body image. We especially encourage you to publish articles presenting new perspectives on prevention and treatment in areas where little research has been conducted so far.
This Research Topic provides an interdisciplinary space for disseminating cutting-edge, scientific research on intuitive eating. We welcome the submission of manuscripts (original research, brief research report, focused review, hypothesis and theory, perspective, data report, case report, community case study) related to intuitive eating, health, and body/body image on subtopics including, but not limited to:
- The role of intuitive eating in childhood; healthy adults; older adults with mental health-related comorbidities; adults with chronic diseases; particular situations such as pregnancy, menopause, etc.
- Intuitive eating and its relationship to the body and health in the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and mental health disorders
- Intuitive eating and body image; diet quality; diet composition/dietary intake; healthy weight stability
- Psychometric evaluation of intuitive eating
- Psychological constructs in intuitive eating
- Intuitive eating and the social media network influence
- Intuitive eating and new technologies & education
- The role of parents in shaping intuitive eating in children
- Intuitive eating as an anti-diet approach
