Motivational dynamics underlying eating regulation in young and adult female dieters: relationships with healthy eating behaviours and disordered eating symptoms

Abstract

Dieters' type of motivation helps to explain when eating regulation relates to healthy and disordered eating symptoms.

Parenting Practices, Autonomous Motivation, and Adolescent Diet Habits

“…Specifically, sex and BMI were significantly associated with fruit and vegetable consumption (males and those with a higher BMI ate less fruits and vegetables), but grade and race were not. Further, although Verstuyf et al (2016) found mean level differences by weight status in motivation and eating behaviors, their model regarding motivation and healthy behaviors operated similarly regardless of age. Yet, even small differences might be meaningful, and understanding the collective of differences is important in tailoring optimal intervention programs.…”

“…Girls also tend to increase their dieting behaviors from early adolescence to late adolescence as compared to boys (von Soest & Wichstrom, 2009). In addition, binge eating is positively associated with BMI (Laghi, Pomplili, Baumgartner, & Baiocco, 2015), and adolescents with overweight or obesity may have less internal motivation to engage in healthy behaviors (Hwang & Kim, 2013;Verstuyf, Vansteenkiste, Soetens, & Soenens, 2016). Parents also tend to encourage children, particularly girls, who have higher BMIs to diet (Armstrong, Carmody, & Janicke, 2014).…”

Active Brazilian crack cocaine users: nutritional, anthropometric, and drug use profiles

“…These social and clinical factors, when associated with crack use, can cause even further damage to their nutritional status. Since crack use is associated with complex social issues,43 these individuals could benefit from lifestyle intervention programs, which have had positive results in the obese, diabetics, and binge eaters 44-47…”

A gente não quer só comer: Uma abordagem de marketing social para a alimentação saudável

“…Não obstante, é necessário reforçar que a rotulagem nutricional não é a única solução. A melhoria dos hábitos alimentares e a reversão do cenário atual possuem causa multifatorial, requerendo a adoção de políticas públicas que modifiquem os fatores de risco, bem como promovam alterações comportamentais no âmbito individual e coletivo dos consumidores (Verstuyf, 2016, Brasil, 2018. Para Martins et al, (2014), uma alternativa é propor a regulação da propaganda de alimentos, já para a Anvisa tal medida impactaria ao mesmo tempo em dois setores poderosos na economia brasileira: a indústria de alimentos e a indústria de propaganda.…”

“…O contexto da pesquisa foram municípios paraibanos e os sujeitos da pesquisa atuam de forma conjunta, ou seja, são secretários de saúde e nutricionistas dos mesmos municípios. Foram elaboradas doze questões divididas em três dimensões: as barreiras para alimentação saudável (Hilger, Loerbrocks & Diehk, 2017); a regulação alimentar (Verstuyf, 2016), e, a consciência para saúde (Apaolazaa, 2018).…”
