The Impact

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.

Background: Worldwide, approximately 95% of obese people who follow diets for weight loss fail to maintain their weight loss in the long term. To fill this gap, mindfulness-based interventions, with a focus on mindful eating, are promising therapies to address this challenging public health issue. Aim: To verify the effects of the Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training (MB-EAT) protocol by exploring quantitative and qualitative data collected from Brazilian women. Methods: A single-group, mixed-methods trial was conducted at a public university with adult women ( n = 34). Four MB-EAT groups were offered weekly for 2.5-h sessions over 12 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included body mass index (BMI) and self-report measures of anxiety, depression, mindfulness, self-compassion, and eating behaviour. Qualitative information was collected using focus groups in the last session of each group, including both participants and MB-EAT instructors. The qualitative data were examined using thematic analyses and empirical categories. Results: Twenty participants (58.8%) completed both pre- and post-intervention assessments, with adequate attendance (≥4 sessions). There was a significant average decrease in weight of 1.9 ± 0.6 kg from pre- to post-intervention. All participants who had scored at the risk level for eating disorders on the EAT-26 decreased their score below this risk level. Qualitative analysis identified that participants were able to engage a more compassionate perspective on themselves, as well as greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. Conclusion: The MB-EAT showed preliminary efficacy in promoting weight loss and improvements in mindfulness and eating behaviour. This intervention promoted effects beyond those expected, extending to other life contexts.

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.
