Two promising strategies to manage eating behaviour are intuitive eating (IE; following hunger) and pinned eating (PE; ignoring hunger/eating at specific times of the day). This study compared IE and PE on behavioural markers. Participants ( 56) were randomly assigned to IE ( 28) or PE ( 28) and given instructions to follow for 1 week. Drive to eat, behaviour, behavioural intentions and self-efficacy were measured at baseline and follow-up. Participants also evaluated their specific intervention. Comparable changes over time were found for both conditions for many measures. Significant conditions by time interactions were found for healthy snacking, total self-efficacy and self-efficacy for weight loss: those following IE showed an increase in each of these outcomes compared to those following PE who showed no change. The IE group found their intervention more useful than those following PE. Further research is needed to build on these preliminary findings.
两种有前途的管理进食行为的策略是直觉饮食(IE;遵循饥饿感)和定点饮食(PE;忽略饥饿感/在一天中的特定时间进食)。本研究比较了 IE 和 PE 在行为标记上的效果。参与者(56 人)被随机分配到 IE(28 人)或 PE(28 人)组,并接受为期一周的指导。在基线和随访时测量进食驱动力、行为、行为意向和自我效能感。参与者还评估了他们的具体干预措施。对于许多测量指标,两种情况下的时间变化都相当。对于健康零食、总自我效能感和减肥自我效能感,发现了显著的条件与时间交互作用:与遵循 PE 的参与者相比,遵循 IE 的参与者在这些结果中的每一项都有所增加,而遵循 PE 的参与者则没有变化。IE 组认为他们的干预措施比遵循 PE 的更有用。需要进一步的研究来建立在这些初步发现的基础上。
