Summary: The study did not find evidence for differences in the effects of different conditions on satiety and eating speed. Future research could consider testing the impact of rating fullness on multiple meals over a longer period. Additionally, although some weak evidence was found that levels of satiety responsiveness may influence the effects of the manipulation, only a weak relationship with eating speed was identified.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that exposure to different portion sizes can influence portion alterations in future meals. This study aimed to explore whether tableware sizes can also affect portion size perception and eating behavior. The results revealed significant changes in post-meal satiety and energy intake for participants served with small or large jars compared to medium-sized jars. While small tableware initially reduced energy intake, it led to increased intake at the following meal and overall daily energy intake. These findings suggest that small tableware may not be an effective long-term solution for addressing overeating and related health issues.

Summary: This study aimed to assess if eating behaviours mediate the association between satiety responsiveness and energy intake. The results suggest that susceptibility to hunger and food cravings partly explain the susceptibility to overeating among individuals with low satiety responsiveness.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the Addiction-like Eating Behaviors Scale (AEBS) in an Italian sample, and to assess its measurement invariance across clinical and nonclinical populations. The results indicated that the AEBS-IT is a valid and reliable measure of addictive-like eating behaviors.

Summary: This paper provides a commentary on Polivy, Herman and Mills' study on restrained eating, questioning their assumptions about the conceptualization of restraint and its causal influence on outcomes. The authors propose an alternative Three-Factor Model for understanding dieting behavior, emphasizing the importance of promoting debate and discussion to advance scientific progress.

Summary: This study aimed to validate and investigate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Measure of Eating Compulsivity-10 (MEC10-IT) in a sample of inpatients with severe obesity (Study 1), and to test the measurement invariance of the measure across non-clinical and clinical samples (Study 2). The MEC10-IT was found to have a confirmed factorial structure among Italian adult inpatients with severe obesity and demonstrated to be invariant between clinical and community samples, showing good psychometric properties and screening abilities for classifying individuals with problematic eating behaviors.

Summary: Numerous scientific studies have investigated the association between sleep duration and childhood adiposity. Diet patterns and nutrient intake have been found to affect sleep quality and patterns. Sleep disturbances are risk factors for obesity and specific diet patterns can promote better sleep quality.

Summary: The study found differences in total energy intake in response to acute stress between high and low restrained eaters in individuals with obesity. Restrained eating behavior may influence stress-induced eating in obesity, emphasizing the importance of understanding the association between restrained eating behavior and obesity for improving behavioral interventions.

Summary: Evidence suggests that emotional eating and disinhibition play a significant role in the relationship between inadequate sleep and obesity, especially in women. Other eating behaviors, such as external eating, eating competence, and hunger, are also associated with poor sleep outcomes, but may not be determinants of the sleep-obesity association.

Summary: This study found a significant association between weight in grade 3 and dietary restraint in grade 4 among children. However, dietary restraint in grade 3 was not associated with weight in grade 4. Child sex and race/ethnicity were not associated with BMIz or dietary restraint at any time point.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between maternal feeding style and core behavioral features of eating disorders, with the symptoms of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) among children. The findings showed that both maternal feeding style and core behavioral features of eating disorders were associated with ARFID symptoms among 2-10-year-old children.

Summary: Ubiquitous exposure to visual food content has been implicated in the development of obesity, but there are conflicting findings regarding the potential health-promoting effects of exposure to visual food stimuli. This study compared imagined eating and actual eating, finding no significant difference between imagined eating and control conditions, but significant differences between imagined and actual eating. The results suggest that imagined eating may not be effective in inducing satiation in a real-life context.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with both motor and non-motor symptoms, commonly associated with eating behavior and energy intake issues. This study introduces Plate-to-Mouth (PtM) as an objective eating behavior indicator, utilizing signals from a smartwatch to estimate the time taken for food transfer during meals. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of PtM in classifying eating behavior profiles of PD patients and healthy controls, using both clinical and in-the-wild datasets.

Summary: The study found a relationship between fast self-reported eating rate and increased adiposity, but there was low concordance between self-reported and objective eating rates. In high school students, self-reported eating rate can be used as a proxy for objective eating rate in large-scale studies, but objective eating rate should be used when assessing individual eating rates.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a high-protein diet and high-intensity interval training on appetite and weight loss in obese middle-aged individuals. The results showed that consuming a high-protein drink and following a high-protein diet after exercise can reduce post-exercise appetite and the frequency of late-night snacking.

Summary: There is evidence to suggest that chronic stress impacts neurochemical homeostasis and contributes to mental disorders. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of p-coumaric acid (p-CA), a natural compound found in vegetables and fruits, against stress-associated mental disorders. The findings suggest that p-CA could alleviate cognitive deficits and depression-like behavior in mice exposed to chronic restraint stress (CRS) by regulating the PKA-CREB-BDNF signaling pathway.

Summary: This study examined sleep, sleep/wake regularity, and cognition in college students diagnosed with depression and using serotonergic antidepressants, comparing them to those without a depression diagnosis. The results showed that students using antidepressants had slightly longer wake after sleep onset and lower sleep efficiency, but these differences were likely not noticed by the participants. There were no differences in sleep regularity or cognition between the two groups.

Summary: Social stress plays a significant role in the development of neuropsychiatric disorders and can lead to behavioral deficits such as social withdrawal. This study investigates the impact of social stress on social reward in Syrian hamsters. The results show that subordinate and socially defeated males have reduced motivation for social interactions compared to dominant males. Additionally, winning males exhibit greater activation in the mesolimbic dopamine system compared to losers. In females, there were no differences in social entries between winners and losers, but winning females display more activation in the NAc shell.

The findings showed a positive correlation between BMI and stress, anxiety, and depression. These results suggest that reducing body fat accumulation may contribute to improving mental health in individuals with SUD during recovery.

Summary: This PROSPERO pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the olfactory and gustatory changes in pregnant individuals. The meta-analysis revealed that pregnant individuals performed poorer in odour identification, rated olfactory stimuli to be more intense during the second and third trimester, and had increased pleasantness for sweet taste in the first trimester. No major difference was observed in terms of gustatory functions between pregnant and non-pregnant subjects.
