The test is the German version of the Three-Factor-Eating-Questionnaire 19, measuring Cognitive Restraint (21 items), Disinhibition (16 items), and Hunger (14 items). Items are in the form of statements like “I eat small portions on purpose because I do not want to gain weight” (Cognitive Restraint), “When I am sad, I often eat too much” (Disinhibition), or “Because I am hungry all the time, it is hard for me to stop eating before the dish is empty.” (Hunger). Covariates Hochpreisige Superfoods aus fernen Ländern sind ebenfalls nicht der Königsweg zu einer gesunden Ernährung. Auf den langen Transportwegen büßen sie Nährstoffe ein und vergeuden unnötig Ressourcen. Dagegen ist saisonales Obst und Gemüse aus der Region nicht nur günstiger, sondern liefert dem Körper mitunter ähnlich viele Mineralien, Vitamine sowie sekundäre Pflanzenstoffe wie die Trendnahrung aus Übersee.

Im Alltag schleicht sich schnell die ein oder andere Gepflogenheit ein – oft ganz unbewusst. Wer aber sein Essverhalten ändern möchte und das dauerhaft, muss sich dieses zunächst vor Augen führen. Das geht am besten mit einem Ernährungstagebuch: Notieren Sie mindestens eine Woche lang, was Sie wann, wo und wie verzehren und vor allem, warum Sie das tun. Ernährungstyp bestimmenManer, J.

Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS (Version 25). From the original sample of 10,000 participants we had to exclude participants who were living in retirement/nursing homes, with relatives or in some form of supported living because we assumed that this would affect their eating behaviors (N = 127). We also excluded people with diabetes (N = 1072), and those that were treated for diseases, when treatment or disease were likely to have an impact on eating behaviors, like ulcer or cancer (N = 1055). We then removed participants with missing values for GAD-7 (N = 332) FEV-scales (N = 1176/199/168), SES (N = 3), smoking (N = 75), IPAQ (N = 611), ESSI (N = 37), personality (N = 126). The persons that we removed due to missing values were significantly older, and more likely to be female and to exhibit a lower social economic status than the participants included in the final sample. The final sample contained 5019 participants. Meule, A. et al. Emotion regulation and emotional eating in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Eat.
