“…A study investigating the effects of distraction or acceptance on self‐reported craving did not find the intervention effects to differ from the control condition . The fourth study investigated the effects of a six‐session neurofeedback training and found a significant change on two subscales of the Food Craving Questionnaires—State (FCQ‐S) from pre to post, which was not found in a placebo control condition …”

Laboratory‐based interventions targeting food craving: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Summary This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to quantify the effects of laboratory‐based interventions targeting specific mechanisms of food craving, to identify moderators of effects, and to qualitatively summarize findings. The study was conducted and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Sixty‐nine studies were included in the quantitative synthesis, and separate meta‐analyses were conducted for the outcomes self‐reported craving and objective food intake. Results show small to medium positive effects across specific craving interventions on both outcomes. Effect sizes were partly moderated by intervention type. The most effective intervention regarding food intake was in sensu cue exposure. For subjective craving, the most robust evidence was found for beneficial effects of cognitive regulation strategies (ie, reappraisal, suppression, and distraction). Results further indicate that training inhibitory control through behavioral inhibition might be more effective than approach‐avoidance training when considering its effect on subjective craving and food intake. People with external eating habits, overeating, or loss‐of‐control eating might benefit from these types of specific craving interventions. Future research should focus on long‐term effects, transferability, and effectiveness in clinical samples.

“…If such conditions are kept constant across measurement points, it may well be that retest-reliability for the FCQ-S is high. More importantly, however, is that the FCQ-S is sensitive to change during various manipulations: scores increase during food cue exposure (e.g., food pictures) or exposure to real food [52,54,[56][57][58][59][60][61] and decrease after exercise [62], methylphenidate ingestion [63], repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [64,65], infraslow neurofeedback training [66], and food intake [11,23,59].…”

Purpose of Review The Food Cravings Questionnaires (FCQs; Cepeda-Benito, Gleaves, Williams, & Erath, 2000) are among the most widely used instruments for measuring food cravings. In addition to the Food Cravings Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T) and the Food Cravings Questionnaire-State (FCQ-S), several modified versions have been developed as well. For their 20th anniversary, this article provides a comprehensive description of the FCQs and reviews studies on their psychometric properties and correlates. Recent Findings The FCQs and their modified versions have excellent internal reliability. Expectedly, the FCQ-T (and its derivatives) has higher retest-reliability than the FCQ-S as the FCQ-S is sensitive to situational changes such as food deprivation and food intake. However, while the FCQ-T is largely unaffected by such momentary states, it is also sensitive to change during weight-loss treatments and other interventions. Factor structure of the FCQ-T and FCQ-S has only partially been replicated. Construct validity of the FCQs is supported by experimental and longitudinal studies that measured food craving and food consumption in the laboratory and with ecological momentary assessment. Summary Numerous studies support reliability and validity of the FCQs and their modified versions, yet findings about their factor structures are inconsistent. Thus, using total scores or the short versions of the FCQs may be preferable.

“…The addictive model has the potential to open new avenues of conceptualization and management in Obesity and Eating Disorders, not only with regard to external cues (Gearhardt, Grilo, et al, ; Ferrer‐García et al, ; Wonderlich et al, ), but also providing new targets (Kakoschke, Hawker, Castine, de Courten, & Verdejo‐Garcia, ; Kekic et al, ; Leong et al, ; Mostafavi, Khaleghi, Mohammadi, & Akhondzadeh, ) that might be complementary to the complex models of treatment for eating disorders (Treasure et al, ; Carter et al, ), and especially addressed to those where the efficacy of evidence‐based treatments has shown limited results.…”
