Emotional eating is associated with weight loss success among adults enrolled in a weight loss program
Open accessAbstract
To examine associations between decreased emotional eating and weight loss success; and whether participation in a behavioral weight loss intervention was associated with a greater reduction in emotional eating over time compared to usual care. Secondary data analysis of a randomized controlled trial conducted at two university medical centers with 227 overweight adults with diabetes. Logistic and standard regression analyses examined associations between emotional eating change and weight loss success (i.e., weight loss of ≥7 % of body weight and decrease in BMI). After 6 months of intervention, decreased emotional eating was associated with greater odds of weight loss success (p = .05). The odds of weight loss success for subjects with decreased emotional eating at 12 months were 1.70 times higher than for subjects with increased emotional eating. No differences in change in emotional eating were found between subjects in the behavioral weight loss intervention and usual care. Strategies to reduce emotional eating may be useful to promote greater weight loss among overweight adults with diabetes.

Interventions that take account of the psychological processes underpinning eating behavior and focus on habitual behaviors may have greater long-term success than nutritional-only interventions.
“Interventions that take account of the psychological processes underpinning eating behavior and focus on habitual behaviors may have greater long-term success than nutritional only interventions (38).”
From Cognitive-behavioral and dietary weight loss intervention in adult kidney transplant recipients with overweight and obesity: Results of a pilot RCT study (Adi-KTx) (2023) · cites this paper as [38]
The Discussion (page unavailable) recommends developing treatments that address emotional eating to improve weight-loss outcomes, supporting the psychological-processes aspect of the claim. It does not establish that a focus on habitual behaviors produces greater long-term success than nutritional-only interventions; the study found no greater improvement in emotional eating with its behavioral program than with usual care.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
