Esta é uma revisão integrativa realizada no primeiro semestre de 2020, considerando o período de outubro de 2008 a dezembro de 2019 nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, PsycINFO e Scopus, com o objetivo de conhecer a produção de pesquisas e as repercussões das abordagens centradas no “mindful eating” e no “intuitive eating” na saúde de indivíduos adultos. A questão norteadora foi: Quais as repercussões das abordagens centradas no “mindful eating” e no “intuitive eating” na saúde de indivíduos adultos? Para as buscas, foram utilizados descritores: mindful eating, intuitive eating e atenção plena. O corpus foi composto por 20 artigos na íntegra, todos internacionais, com três categorias: Resultados das abordagens centradas no mindful eating na saúde mental; Resultados das abordagens centradas no mindful eating na saúde física; e Resultados das abordagens centradas no intuitive eating na saúde mental e física. As intervenções baseadas em mindful eating e/ou intuitive eating repercutiram positivamente na saúde física e mental, melhorando o comportamento alimentar, as escolhas alimentares, reduzindo os níveis de alimentação emocional e estresse, auxiliando na perda de peso, na redução do índice de massa corporal e no tratamento de transtornos alimentares, sendo assim, estratégias promissoras para melhorar a saúde de indivíduos adultos.

Compulsões alimentares tem sido uma condição cada vez mais frequente, principalmente entre indivíduos com sobrepeso e obesidade. Porém, as intervenções nutricionais comumente trabalhadas com estes indivíduos impõem restrições alimentares, as quais podem piorar o quadro da compulsão alimentar. Assim, objetivou-se investigar na literatura a existência de intervenções nutricionais ‘sem dieta’ e sua eficácia na compulsão alimentar. Em forma de revisão bibliográfica, foram considerados nesta pesquisa os estudos entre 2007 e 2017 que conduziram intervenções nutricionais ‘sem dieta’ e avaliaram sua eficácia na compulsão alimentar. Dezoito estudos preencheram os critérios de inclusão, e trouxeram intervenções baseadas em Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size, Mindful Eating, Eating Competence e outras intervenções classificadas como ‘sem dieta’. Em todos eles, observou-se a redução significante nos episódios de compulsão alimentar, além de melhora em outros aspectos do comportamento e consumo alimentares. Foi observado que, apesar de terem sido identificadas diferentes intervenções, elas tinham pontos em comum, como respeito aos sinais de fome e saciedade e quebra da mentalidade de restrição alimentar, os quais, em concordância com outros autores, podem estar no cerne da eficiência no trabalho de compulsão alimentar. Sugere-se que intervenções nutricionais ‘sem dieta’ sejam promissoras para tratamento de compulsão alimentar.

AbstractThe role of mindfulness, mindful eating and a newer concept of intuitive eating in modulating eating habits is an area of increasing interest. In this structured literature review, a summary of the current evidence is presented, together with details of interventions undertaken and the tools to measure outcomes. It is broad in scope given the emerging evidence base in this area. The review yielded sixty-eight publications: twenty-three interventions in obese/overweight populations; twenty-nine interventions in normal-weight populations; sixteen observational studies, three of which were carried out in overweight/obese populations. Mindfulness-based approaches appear most effective in addressing binge eating, emotional eating and eating in response to external cues. There is a lack of compelling evidence for the effectiveness of mindfulness and mindful eating in weight management. Mindfulness-based approaches may prevent weight gain. Reduced food intake was seen in some of the studies in overweight and obese populations, but this was less apparent in the studies in normal-weight populations. The evidence base for intuitive eating is limited to date and further research is needed to examine its potential in altering eating behaviours. Mindfulness appears to work by an increased awareness of internal, rather than external, cues to eat. Mindfulness and mindful eating have the potential to address problematic eating behaviours and the challenges many face with controlling their food intake. Encouraging a mindful eating approach would seem to be a positive message to be included in general weight management advice to the public.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Adult women in the community experience a range of problematic relationships with food and their bodies. This is demonstrated in the high prevalence of obesity and overweight, disordered eating, and body image dissatisfaction. Existing interventions targeting these issues are limited in scope and targeted population. More holistic interventions that meet the range of needs of adult women in the community are needed. This study examines the efficacy of one such intervention, called Eat for Life. The Eat for Life program combines two innovative paradigms, intuitive eating and mindful eating, to help women develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies. The study hypothesized that participants in the Eat for Life program would demonstrate significantly better outcomes on a range of eating and weight-related measures than those in a wait-list control group. Results demonstrated that at post-10 weeks, Eat for Life participants demonstrated significantly greater scores on intuitive eating, mindfulness, and body appreciation and significantly lower scores on disordered eating than those in the wait-list group. Results also found mindfulness to serve as a partial mechanism of the significant differences between groups on the other measures. These findings have implications for the positive effects of intuitive and mindful eating in the treatment of a range of eating and weight-related issues.

Weight loss is commonly recommended to prevent cardiometabolic diseases like hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. Rather than lead to a long-term healthy weight, dieting can result in weight cycling, which has been shown to be more harmful to health than being overweight. An emerging solution to prevent both excess weight gain and weight cycling is to avoid extremes of hunger and fullness by eating intuitively. Intuitive eating or mindful eating means tuning into interoceptive cues of hunger and fullness to guide when and how much to eat. Mindful eating has been linked to both heart, and metabolic health. It is, however, often labor intensive to retrain chronic dieters to intuitively eat what they need, and nothing more. This study describes a mobile health application that mimics an in-office intuitive eating coaching session. It utilizes homeostasis concepts, and components of the Health Belief Model; including, cues to action, phone prompts, minimal barriers to use, and self-efficacy through repeated immediate feedback. It is expected that this innovation could assist or replace the more labor-intensive in-person methods that exist to train previous dieters to eat intuitively. An enhanced description of this mobile application, the PaleoIntuitive app, is presented in this paper along with a discussion of its expected impact on health behavior.

Abstract. The present study aimed to investigate and compare the impact of the Mindful Construal Diary (MCD) and the Mindful Raisin Exercise on the sensory tasting experience of chocolate and participants’ chocolate consumption. Participants were randomly allocated into three conditions (MCD, mindful raisin exercise, and mindless control), and engaged with either the MCD, the mindful raisin exercise, or, were asked to read a news article, respectively, while they ate a piece of chocolate. They then rated their satisfaction and desire to consume more chocolate on a 10-point Likert scale, and filled in a state mindful eating scale. Afterward, participants were informed that the study had ended and were asked to wait while the experimenter recorded some information, and any extra chocolate consumption during this time was recorded. Participants in both mindfulness conditions consumed significantly less chocolate after the exercise than participants in the control condition. No significant differences were found between the three conditions on ratings of satisfaction and desire to consume more chocolate. Both the MCD and the raisin exercise can be used to successfully moderate the intake of calorific foods, while the MCD can be utilized as an alternative practice to the typical meditation-based interventions.
