“…A report on the acute effects from this trial confirmed that Project Health produced significantly larger body fat loss by posttest when delivered in single- versus mixed-sex groups and when paired with the food response inhibition and attention training versus sham training [ 14 ]; and further, that these two factors interacted, producing the largest body fat loss for single-sex groups implemented with food response inhibition and attention training. Although the two manipulated factors did not affect eating disorder symptoms, there was a large reduction in symptoms across conditions (within-participant d = 0.78), that was larger than the within-condition symptom reduction ( d = 0.54) observed in a past trial in which Project Health produced greater symptom reductions than educational controls [ 19 ].…”

“…Healthy Weight participants were asked to make small incremental lifestyle changes to balance caloric intake with expenditure. The evidence that unhealthy weight control behaviors increase risk for future eating disorders [ 7 , 8 ] and that compensatory weight control behaviors are often the first behavioral symptom to emerge in eating disorders [ 14 ] suggests that helping at-risk youth to bring energy intake into balance with energy expenditure should reduce the eating pathology. In a second trial, Healthy Weight produced greater reductions in BMI and eating disorder symptoms in high-risk young women, prevented BMI gain through a 1-year follow-up for overweight participants, and reduced eating disorder onset by 60% over a 2-year follow-up compared to educational controls [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Objective: Test whether the efficacy of Project Health, an obesity/eating disorder prevention program, is improved by delivering it in single-sex groups and adding food response inhibition and attention training. Method: High-risk young adults (N = 261; M age = 19.3, 74% female) were randomized to (1) single-sex or (2) mixed-sex groups that completed food response inhibition and attention training or (3) single-sex or (4) mixed-sex groups that completed sham training with nonfood images in a 2 × 2 factorial design. Results: There was a significant sex-composition by training-type by time interaction; participants who completed single- or mixed-sex Project Health groups plus food response and attention training showed significant reductions in body fat over a 2-year follow-up, though this effect was more rapid and persistent in single-sex groups, whereas those who completed single- or mixed-sex Project Health groups plus sham training did not show body fat change. However, there were no differences in overweight/obesity onset over the follow-up. The manipulated factors did not affect eating disorder symptoms or eating disorder onset, but there was a significant reduction in symptoms across the conditions (within-condition d = −0.58), converging with prior evidence that Project Health produced larger reductions in symptoms (within-condition d = −0.48) than educational control participants. Average eating disorder onset over the 2-year follow-up (6.4%) was similar to that observed in Project Health in a past trial (4.5%). Conclusions: Given that Project Health significantly reduced future onset of overweight/obesity in a prior trial and the present trial found that body fat loss effects were significantly greater when implemented in single-sex groups and paired with food response and attention training, there might be value in broadly implementing this combined intervention.

Theories have suggested that food-specific inhibition training could lead to food devaluation which, in turn, may help people to regulate their eating behavior. In this review, we have synthesized the current literature on this topic by conducting a meta-analysis of studies investigating the effects of food-specific inhibition training on food evaluation. We identified 24 studies—with 36 independent samples, 77 effect sizes, and 3032 participants—that met our inclusion criteria. Effect sizes were analyzed using the robust variance estimation in random effects meta-regression technique. The results indicate that food-specific inhibition training can lead to statistically significant reductions in food evaluation. More specifically, it was observed that the effects of training on participants’ food evaluation differed according to the type of evaluation; food-specific inhibition training significantly decreased participants’ explicit food evaluation, but not their implicit food evaluation. However, because most of the included studies focused on trained food items and short-term outcomes in normal-weight samples, more research is needed on the continuance of the training effects, as well as on the extent to which effects can be generalized to untrained food items or different populations (e.g., overweight or obese individuals).
