Abstract in brief

  • The study found that young adults who practiced intuitive eating early on were generally healthier in terms of body weight, dieting habits, unhealthy weight control behaviors, and binge eating five years later.
  • For women, intuitive eating didn't significantly predict these behaviors after accounting for their initial habits, but for men, it was linked to reduced unhealthy weight control and binge eating behaviors independently of their previous behaviors.
  • Overall, the research suggests that intuitive eating might have long-term benefits for promoting healthier eating and weight-related behaviors in young adults.
