When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Background:

Intuitive eating is a promising intervention target for binge eating.
Current intuitive eating programs face scalability and accessibility challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a web-based, single-session intervention (SSI) for intuitive eating.
To assess the acceptability and efficacy of the SSI among individuals with recurrent binge eating.

Main Methods:

248 participants with recurrent binge eating were randomized to the SSI or a waitlist.
Assessments were conducted at baseline, 2-week, and 6-week follow-up.
Intention-to-treat analyses were performed.

Main Results:

The SSI was acceptable to participants, with high satisfaction and recommendation rates.
The intervention group showed significantly greater improvements in intuitive eating, eating disorder symptoms, body appreciation, and interoception compared to the control group.
Improvements were maintained at 6-week follow-up and demonstrated moderate to large effect sizes.

Conclusions:

Brief, concentrated interventions like this SSI can foster intuitive eating for binge eating.
Findings support the potential benefits of single-session interventions for eating disorder symptoms.
