Daily Body (Dis‐)Satisfaction and Dietary Restriction in Women Across the Eating Disorder Spectrum

Key Points

Explore how daily body dissatisfaction influences dietary restriction in women with eating disorders.
Analyzed daily fluctuations in body satisfaction among women across different eating disorder types.
Identified intervention targets focusing on body dissatisfaction rather than dietary restriction.
Higher body dissatisfaction is linked to increased dietary restriction in the future.
Intervening on days with high dissatisfaction can potentially reduce following day's dietary restrictions.

Abstract

Prospective links between body dissatisfaction and restriction mainly characterize patients with BN and ANbp. Hence, intervention targets at both the group level and the symptom level (body dissatisfaction rather than dietary restriction) seem necessary. In these subgroups, intervening on days characterized by high body dissatisfaction may help reduce dietary restriction on the following day.
