TL;DR: The 8-item Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire (WEL-SF) appears to be a psychometrically valid measure of eating self-efficacy that accounts for 94% of the variability in the original version.

TL;DR: Higher EDE-Q scores, largely driven by elevated shape and weight concerns, appear normative among individuals with obesity in a nationally representative population and BMI should be routinely considered when establishing criteria for defining recovery and determining clinical significance using the Ede-Q.

TL;DR: It was found that participants in the defusion group ate significantly less chocolate during the taste test than other groups, however, no difference was found in the amount of chocolate eaten throughout the duration of the experiment.

TL;DR: Findings of the present study highlight one potential mechanism underlying the association between AS and disordered eating, suggesting that efforts to avoid internal experiences may play a role in eating pathology.

TL;DR: Findings indicated that women and men with high BMIs were more likely to engage in both healthy and unhealthy dieting behaviors than those with low BMIs, and women with higher levels of depressive symptoms utilized fewer healthy diets and more unhealthy diets.

TL;DR: It is suggested that female aesthetic athletes show more disturbed eating behaviour and thoughts than female adolescents from the general population and therefore may have an enhanced risk of developing clinical eating disorders.

TL;DR: It is suggested that low-level attentional biases may contribute to difficulties making healthier food choices in the current food environment and may point toward useful strategies to reduce excess food consumption.
