Considering that individuals who are within a healthy weight range may experience different thoughts about food to those who are already overweight or obese triggers the need to understand the nature, challenges, and coping strategies of food-related thinking styles in this population in relation to those who are either overweight or obese. Analysis of 6 semi-structured qualitative interviews with individuals who are either at risk of being overweight (body mass index [BMI] = 23-24.99), or above a healthy weight (BMI ⩾ 25), revealed 3 overarching themes: (1) Why am I all about food? (2) Jekyll and Hyde, and (3) Emotional attachment to food. These findings highlighted a link between dieting and negative thinking, which foster unhealthy eating patterns. Therefore, intuitive eating may offer a useful alternative to re-establish a healthier relationship with food.
考虑到处于健康体重范围内的个体与超重或肥胖个体对食物可能有不同的想法，这引发了我们去了解该人群中与超重或肥胖个体相关的食物相关思维方式的本质、挑战及应对策略的需求。对6名有超重风险（体重指数[BMI]=23-24.99）或高于健康体重（BMI⩾25）的个体进行的半结构化定性访谈分析，揭示了3个总体主题：（1）为什么我满脑子都是食物？（2）ekyll和Hyde，以及（3）对食物的情感依恋。这些发现突出了节食与消极思维之间的联系，而这种联系会助长不健康的饮食模式。因此，直觉饮食可能为重新建立与食物的更健康关系提供一种有用的替代方法。
