Background: The present research aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive reappraisal based and mindfulness-based interventions in modulating food craving, binge eating and losing weight in overweight women.
Materials and Methods: The current study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-and post-test design, with the control group that was performed in three groups (two experimental groups and one control group). Forty-five overweight and obese women were selected by convenient sampling. Two Experimental groups received treatment based on mindfulness-based eating awareness training (MB-EAT) and cognitive reappraisal intervention. Subjects completed food craving scale-trait (FCQ-T), and binge eating scale (BES) before and after ending of treatment/waiting. Data was analyzed using covariance analysis.
Results: Results indicated that Mindfulness-based intervention led to significant decrease of Food craving and binge eating (P<0.01); While there was no significant difference between cognitive reappraisal and control groups (P>0.05). Also, Mindfulness-based led to significant decrease of weight loss (P<0.01); While there was no significant difference between cognitive reappraisal and control groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded that mindfulness-based could be an effective and permanent treatment for weight loss and modulating food craving and binge eating by increasing self-regulation capacity, cultivating awareness of internal and external cues and decreasing automatic behaviors.
